Niall, I actually suggested probe-scsi, not probe-all. When
you say "often not booting at all" do you mean no OBP, or no
UNIX boot? If you don't get to OBP, do you get power into
the system? If you get OBP, but no UNIX boot, then what
message(s) do you get when you enter "boot"? Or do you
possibly have a dodgy/loose keyboard connector? It may be
that it is sending output down the serial port. I'm grasping
at straws.....
