I did. It came back to life for an hour then died again. On some boots,
it gets the shared memory error, on others it doesn't and operates for a
minute or two (maybe longer) then the ether0 port goes dead. Setting
console I see a bunch of e_receivepcket messages, but nothing gets in or
out of the ether port.
Called LE this morning and they said it's dead. $500 to exchange for a
new one. :-(

It still boggles the mind how this happened. Running one minute, not the
next. ABSOLUTELY nothing was changed, accessed, touched, stared at, or
even telekenetically controlled. It's on an APC 2200xl backup unit, so
surges are out, too. Got me...
