Hi Darius
Talk about a speedy response! Thanks.
It's Centos 6 .. so should be fine.
I freely admit that I don't understand EFI. I couldn't get the Centos installer CD to boot when I selected EFI .. so it's an area I need to read about.
(Isn't more than one Linux just Linux 
)
Is EFI the only way to get my PCI device to boot you think?
thanks!!
