Hi Dave, et al., I'm using this patch and while I've seen a little bit of improvement with the VT6202, it still hangs fairly often while doing sustained mass storage transactions. On the other hand, my NEC and Philips boards haven't hiccuped once. I'm wondering if we should hold out hope that the VIA problems will be resolved for those of us forced to use a 2.4.x kernel.
