You have four people that aren't having problems and you are. I looked at the loader code dates in the cvsweb.cgi and nothing has really been changed in 4 months. I also believe that one problem means more than a 100 good runs. So, what are you doing different? My systems are a standalone using UDMA-33 drives, and two combo's that are multi-booting using W2K's ntldr on UDMA-33 drives. None of the drives are DD. The system build dates are 19 Nov, 22 Nov, and 28 Nov. I use ahc scsi on the two oldest systems but boot from the ata drives. The only thing I haven't used on multiple machines is booting from scsi.
