Floppy drive plugged into the motherboard 3. CD-ROM and a never used Zip disk drive plugged into IDE2 on the motherboard 4. Sound Blaster live sound code plugged into a PCI slot. 5. nVidia Corp NV15 GL (Quadro2) plugged into the AGP slot. No USB ports are in use. The video output, mouse and keyboard are plugged into a KVM switch. There is also a CAT-5 cable attached to the network jack. Otherwise, there are no other external connections outside of the power cable. By running without the X11 server, I hoped to remove the nVidia board as a source of trouble. $ /sbin/lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82850 860 (Wombat) Chipset Host Bridge (MCH) (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82860 860 (Wombat) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801BAM PCI (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801BA ISA Bridge (ICH2) (rev 04) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 04) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA(M) USB (Hub A) (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801BA(M) SMBus (rev 04) 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA(M) USB (Hub B) (rev 04) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA(M) AC'97 Audio (rev 04) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 GL (Quadro2) (rev a4) 02:1f.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82806AA PCI64 Hub PCI Bridge (rev 03) 03:00.0 PIC: Intel Corporation 82806AA PCI64 Hub Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (rev 01) 03:0e.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7892P (rev 02) 04:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev 78) 04:0c.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments: Unknown device 8020 04:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!
