Re: IXA resource failures

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick,

What firmware levels are you at?  We have a x366 and it has firmware 
dates in the June-August time frame. All of the version levels were 
higher than the recommended levels.

I'd be curious to know what those levels are.  I'll go ahead and apply 
the latest and greatest in any case.

Thanks.

Pete
