[f-nsp] NI-MLX-1GX20-GC FID_DISTRIBUTION Error

[Tomasz Szewczyk]

Hi Chuck,

What software version do you have? I have few MLXes with such module and 
there are no problem (3.8c).
You can try check the output of dm save (in enable mode). There should 
be some hints about the reason of reboot. dm save is not overwritten 
across reloads so you can try dm clear to get latest dump.
