I changed a few options on my bios which affected the available CPU
time slice and the PCI-CPU arbitration and I'm not having the mouse
issues anymore.  It's not showing the silent data corruption I was
having problems with either.

The new ATA drivers must be pushing the hardware a bit harder (which
is a good thing) but the should not be causing errors with anybody
elses hardware.

So never mind, sorry for any wasted time other than mine.

I have a 'cursed' ASUS A7V133 motherboard with a Via chipset - life
with it has been... oh... interesting.

At least it's stable -most- of the time.
