Dell... the final frontier...

[goose-entity.livejournal.com]

final conclusion of the saga related http://community.livejournal.com/techsupport/1106992.html

So. Marco at Dell, having replaced the wireless NIC, came up with the bright idea of putting in a new HDD and applying the Dell image.

Laptop worked perfectly. There's an issue with our corp image which causes the conflict with the IRQs.

... yeah. So, the problem with the lappy is our fault.

So I am going to have to do a manual install of the entire OS and all drivers, then take a specific image for this one machine.

Anyone have a Tanto to hand? I think they are handy for seppuku.


*sighs*

EDIT TO ADD:
Thanks to our own fiannnachruinne and to Marco from Dell for getting to the bottom of this!
