This was using the 9/18 snapshot, I tried to cvsup it to the most current, 
but the drive errors prevent the update.

I just reloaded with the 9/19 snapshot, and will report if the error still 
exists.

As for the hardware, it is all brand new hardware, and the system dual 
boots, the other OS has no issues.
