[Sheflug] Experiences with SuperMicro H8DCE?

[Peter Humphrey <prh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happy new year, one and all!

I've been off-air recently with at least two hardware problems. I won't go 
into those now, but I've finished up with a new motherboard which won't 
boot from a floppy. The box was built by Armari three years ago, and its 
MSI motherboard developed a fault; I sent the box back to Watford and had 
an H8DCE fitted. Fine spec, and just right for my two Opteron 246 CPUs. But 
every now and again I've needed to boot a floppy to run a recalcitrant ISO 
on CD, but when the floppy is read I get HD and FD activity lights hard on 
and nothing else.

Any clues, anyone? I don't really want to ship it off again if I can help 
it. I've tried loading "optimised" BIOS defaults, but that didn't help.
