	3.0 Known Issues:

		3.1   APPLIANCE:
		
	    		1. Linux drivers will not allow support for Virtual Media on a second user.
			   Deferred to a future release. Requires moving to Linux 2.6 in appliance firmware.
	    	
			2. Getting the message "An error was encountered trying to eject" when I right mouse click 
			   on the virtual media removable disk and select eject from windows explorer. Early 
			   investigation into the issue points more toward an error in the communication with Windows 2003	
	    	
			3. With a highly populated 3 level tier in place, top level switch sometimes hangs at boot. Low 
			   likelihood of occurance at customer site.
