Hi Folks,
The host Spitz in E25-143K has a monitor that is blinking on and off when
it is on at all: whole screen going blank one or two times a second,
continuously.
I don't know whether it's the monitor or the card. (The simple test
would be to swap monitors with the host sitting next to it, but I haven't
done that yet.)
The host should be under a standard Athena support contract.

Additional problems in this small cluster include: one hung system (Kumala)
that is now attempting to reload itself (may finish overnight and become a
non-issue), one user leaving a locked system (Kierkegaard) (Ctr-L fixed
this one), and one system (Buscaglia) that was locked at the Athena account
registry screen and rebooted. Assuming the re-install of Kumala finishes
without problem, the only real issue is the monitor for Spitz.
Thanks,
--Tom
