Actually, my points were that almost all of the failures I have observed were in reading the rescue disk (which AFIK is read by the BIOS drivers), and that the failures were truly random, and that new disks performed no better than used ones. The previous message, from Jason Gunthorpe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, I believe, made the suggestion that the Linux drivers were the source of the problem. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.
