Ughh! Spoke too soon. :-( The older PIII machine still crashes in the same manner. This is what I have configured: $ cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i CONFIG_ATA # CONFIG_ATALK is not set # CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH is not set CONFIG_ATA=y # CONFIG_ATA_NONSTANDARD is not set # CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR is not set CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA=y CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC=y Also, CONFIG_SATA_PMP=y CONFIG_PATA_ISAPNP=y CONFIG_PATA_ACPI=y CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY=y This is what this old machine contains: # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82830 830 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) ... 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 42) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801CAM ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801CAM IDE U100 Controller (rev 02) I should be able to get onto the P4 later on and see if the problem persists there too.
I'm not sure if this would help but it couldn't hurt to try. http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
