http://evogaming.il.us.tveps.net/~astrodog/r3000z-new.diff is a new version of the patch. It looks for the hint hint.atkbdc.0.notest as opposed to hijacking the atkbd disabled hint. I think it might be more suitable. Tested on a 3004US, and the Dual Opteron machine, no effect when disabled, or not set, and allows the 3000z to boot once set. --- Harrison Grundy
