[AG-TECH] Inconsistent start up error - FC 10 and AGTK 3.x

[Khanh ly]

Hi Dough,

Thanks for your workaround solution. It worked and save me some  
headache in troubleshooting AG :-).

Yes. Our CPU is a quad core Intel E5420.

We will do more intensive test this week. However, I wonder should I  
use your workaround or update to the promised new AG RPM later.

I also thanks Andrew for a troubleshooting of the multicast network  
suggestion which we are likely to use if we encounter other problems.

Regards

Khanh
