I am afraid that did not work when i tried it in the loader !!!! I have
heard RH loonix works in these machines but how would I live without the
ports collection ?

Eric,

I've got a Sat Pro A10, 4.9 worked fine on it, but 5.X didn't without
changing
a setting. Try shoving the following in your loader.rc.

[xenon:~]# cat /usr/remotesystems/cobalt/boot/loader.rc
set hw.pci.enable_io_modes="0"

Disabling APCI had no effect for me, I'm not sure what the above actually
does, but it worked for me. Worth a shot :).

Kind regards,

Peter.
