The real problem is with SCSI, which causes kernel stack overflows. For IDE, all I could find was a problem with the unlinking of inodes. For normal use, this wasn't a problem. But, for the convoluted ways in which dselect/dpkg handle safe package upgrading, this caused a problem in that UMSDOS could not unlink an inode for a file which was in use (such as /bin/bash when trying to upgrade bash while using bash as your shell). I believe I saw something in the Changes for 2.0.26 or 2.0.27 which mentioned inode removal under UMSDOS (or maybe it was DOS) which may fix the problem, but I haven't had time (or reason) to check it out yet. -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 3 days.
