I never suggested that you buy something else. Evidently you overlooked my first reply to your problem, where I suggested that the problem might be DMA and a buggy mobo (which is my situation). To reiterate: Try compiling a kernel with the option "Enable DMA by default when available" /disabled/. If this seems to clear the problem, investigate some of the docs and HOWTOs in the kernel source. I was eventually able to fix my setup with a combination of a recent kernel patch and the package hdparm. I cannot give you any other suggestions ATM, because you haven't deigned to list /any/ of your hardware. Since this seems to be a hardware-related problem, the idea that anyone could solve it for you w/o hardware specicfic information is ludicrous. Do you know what chipset/drive you have? -- Regards, Steve
