I tried the 11/29 snapshot, it is indeed worse. I got a failure during the install's fsck. The errors I got were: ad4: Warning - WRITE_DMA recovered from missing interrupt ad4: Failure - WRITE_DMA status=ff<I couldn't copy the codes here, sorry> followed by lots of: ad4: timeout sending command=ca ad4: error issuing DMA command All along I have experienced "missing interrupt" errors, along with DMA write errors. -Derek At 02:01 PM 11/30/2003, Scott Long wrote: >Robert Watson wrote: >>On Sun, 30 Nov 2003, Joe Marcus Clarke wrote: >> >>>On Fri, 2004-01-30 at 09:43, HaggeL wrote: >>> >>>>Hi Guys :) >>>> >>>>Sorry if i waste your time.
