I'm also curious; I know that there is a vm bug, but why does it strike one person and not another? I would have thought that if there was a really significant problem with the aic7xxx driver and virtual memory or memory mapping, the driver would fail for nearly everyone using the driver in an SMP system. Yet I'm running various incarnations of 2.0.33 and 35 and aic7xxx 5.0.x and 5.1.0prex, and as of pre10 even the latter are awesomely stable under pretty hefty load. Heck, even pre7 is still running happily after weeks on those systems I haven't gotten around to rebooting. rgb Robert G.
