that's quite sad but as aboves gives no hint on where we would perform that badly nor why those freezes that i cant reproduce happen. i'd have to close the bug. the only big difference i know about our kernels is that ubuntu uses a pata driver instead of the old ide ones. could that make the difference? best regards -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
