Hi, I have a Fenton Powerpal L660, when I try and configure nut with either the metatec or fentonups driver, and start upsd, the UPS instantly turns itself off. It used to work, until I changed my motherboard and CPU, which means it has a different bios and serial port setup. This is happening with Nut 2.0.1 and also Nut 2.0.5. I have an AMD64 bit processor, Mandriva 2007 64 bit. Any suggestions as to what I should do to investigate this? The error I got from the fenton drive was: Short read during UPS id sequence Regards Glen Ogilvie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You might do the same for upsd. The fentonups driver is obsolete and has been removed from recent NUT versions. No communications error should normally result in the UPS turning itself off. -- Peter

Fixed the cable and UPS works as expected now. Thanks for the help. Regards Glen Ogilvie
