Pete,

        Glad to here you have it running stable again. If not, my next guess 
for you
would have been to download MCElog and look for hidden hardware errors
uncovered by the new kernel code... (you didn't want to go there...)

        I can't kill my old machines no matter how I try. Like the old AMD 
k6-2/450
with 2 20G IBM deskstar drives mentioned in my "[opensuse] Disk Performance -
Then & Now.." post. It is still running like a champ after ????? years. I know
I had the box in 1999, maybe earlier, same drives -- knock-on-wood...

        If I get adventurous, I still have my old 386/33 (with math 
co-processor) and
16M of 70ns RAM somewhere in the attic that I know still works like a champ ;-)
