Hi Dale,

For what its worth, the SX releases tend to be pretty stable. I'm not
sure if snv_52 has made a SX release yet. We ran for over 6 months on
SX 10/05 (snv_23) with no downtime.

Best Regards,
Jason

Yes indeed. Well, that answers that. FWIW, I'm hour 2 of a mysql
configure script run. Yow!

Ah, so I suppose this would affect the V100, too. The same ALi IDE
controller in that box.

Thanks for the insight. Since the fix for this made it into snv_52, I
suppose it's too recent for a backport and patch release for s10 :(
