And for many of us the "fix" was worse than the original problem. The unpatched kernel would at least BOOT.
But this machine is save now :-) (waiting too for a new kernel)
If I have to guess, I would say, DMA is involved, because it doesn't work with a machine here, where 1 drive has DMA problems and I disabled it therefore, while this machine has the same chipset (815i) and processor than a working machine.

Many others reported this happened with older drives in the 4 to 10 gig size. That size was about the time the 80wire came into common use - (what is that ata66 or something?). How could this patch, which was only to fix the infinit loop problem (which one had to specifically compile a program to actually demonstrate) manage to break disk access that has been working for years... -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
