no overclock hdparm is used but I cannot tell you exactly what the config is (now machine has been running memtest for 1.5 hour). I don't think I use special option: probably the defaults in my config file (mult_sect 16, dma on, write_cache off). overheating: perhaps. The machine is hot and running many hours per day (usually 12-16). It s running the fans very often, but it's always been like that. I've tried to control the fan, but then the temperature goes high very quickly. So I let the fans run. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
