Steve,

Just to make sure that you're not mixing different CPU speeds in your
E450 when upgrading right?  All CPUs in the E450 has to have the same
speed and when upgrading, check your hardware manual for any jumper need
to be turn on/off for E450 clock to match your CPU speed.  Those are the
first few things I would do before going to OBP upgrade.  Gotta get your
system up before OBP can be run.

G'Luck!
