Fellow Admins,

Just a fair warning to all of you who like to reinstall OSes.  Currently,
the Factory SLT that HP ships with 5.5 will NOT work with the 997 series
machines.  From what I understand so far, there was a change in the IO boot
process for 997 that renders the Factory SLT useless.

You must either use an SLT that was created on the machine once it was
running, or have HP create a special SLT for you (as in my case).

Anyone wanting more details can feel free to email me privately.
