Yup I am using one of the latest ISOs from the cobalt site. (I downloaded
and burned the image on 03/01/03.)

I just flashed the ROM to 2.3.40. So I guess I need to go through the OS
restore again huh?

I'd feel better about the restore if I could get my customer OSRCD to work
but every time I make the ISO and try to restore with it the server appears
to restore OK, then after it initially reboots the LCD says "ERROR", so I
end up using the original ISO and then downloading all the cobalt patches
one at a time.
