OK, it's been over a week now and I have only suffered one lock-up, and that
was immediately after the removal of the Acard+DVD from the system, so it may
have been hardware disturbance related. As I wasn't watching at the time I
don't know whether it had the usual symptoms of the SCSI activity LED staying
on for a long time and then going off, leaving the system unusable, or not. It
was certainly unusable with even the cursor locked !
My feeling is that this was a different lock-up, but I cannot guarantee my
feeling is accurate, as it is a long time since I left a lock-up to go to its
conclusion, usually I have been hitting the RESET button as soon as I see the
SCSI LED on !
So looking good, but not yet guaranteed :-) I will keep watching !
If it is the Acard+DVD it is odd that it was perfectly stable under Suse 9.0,
and it was. Not that I'm going back to 9.0 to get that working again ! If the
Acard is the cause is it likely that there can be a fix worked out that will
allow it to work ? The original patch goes a lot of the way towards making it
stable :-)
In the meantime I bought a couple of 4GB USB memory sticks as back-up media,
although the data transfer is slower than to DVD-RAM.
