Always when there's a lot of CPU and disk I/O load. Also sometimes my USB keyboard would become unresponsive at about the same time (under high load). Sometimes it would stutter and act like the key was being held down for a second or two. I built a new kernel (6.2-PRE now) on 9/12. The keyboard problem seems to be gone but I still get the em watchdog timeouts occasionally. Craig
