Yeah, I saw those. I have not noticed any problems with 4.x. The MVP3 is the 82c586B. I have updated on about a bi-daily basis with the kernel and have not noticed any corruption or other problems. Many people were blaming the controller, but it is probably rooted in the mix of their hard drives and the MVP3 I'll bet. One person mentioned using a JTS Champ hard drive. These drives were all recalled osme time ago because of faulty circuitry...and the cheap end of the MAxtor line has always caused problems for me, no matter what the controller. Cheap seagates were also troublesome, especially the LP drives. --cokane Warner Losh had the audacity to say: > > In message <20000405024521.B4835@evil.2y.net> Coleman Kane writes: > : am using ata with an FIC-VA503+ (VIA Apollo MVP3) mobo and a WD Expert > > There have been reports that this is massive unstable with the current > (4.x and 5.x) code in DMA mode.
