Ok, I can try this approach.  Being able to do it live/remotely is the 
important thing, as this server is located at a colo facility and 
anything that requires physical access (such as traditional PC BIOS 
updates) is not an option.

Another list member responded as well earlier this morning, asking about 
my distro.  I'm running Debian (as I explained in my response).  Do you 
think that could cause this issue?  If so, do you know if there are any 
plans to make this work on Debian?
