need help with weird error

[twoodcc]

okay, so i get an error from folding on my mac pro. looking at the log file, it gets done folding, or at 99%, and then it gets an error, and quits that work unit and downloads another unit, and starts with that one.

anyone ever run into this before?

also, i have 2 different Leopard installations on 2 different hard drives in the mac. would this possibly mess something up?

...looking at the log file


posting a copy of that might help (or the part you are worried about i guess to keep it short). easier to read and research than guess and give you a wrong answer.

the two copies of X are fine. i have several copies/versions in my MP with no issue. and one more on an external firewire drive actually come to think of it...

thanks for the reply. sorry so long for my response. here is a section of the log file that keeps repeating, i think. this is a fresh copy of leopard server on my mac pro.

Odd..

Did you change the machine id on the other installations? Are they all in seperate folders so the data files dont overlap?

I've never seen that error from the log..

I honestly havnen't had good luck with the mac clients. I LOVE the GPU clients on regular PC's. There is just so much more PPD available with a GPU client.
