This is scarey...I didn't know this at all....I'm here with a VIA KT266A based motherboard, Athlon 1600XP, SB Live, MDK 8.1 with reiserfs on two ATA-100, IBM drives and two SCSI cdroms on a 2940UW (not the cdroms though, they are sat on the narrow SCSI port).... Does the corruption only only happen at high loads? I'm going now to make google my friend :) - -- H&Ks Garf Get my key from http://www.keyserver.net/en/ A spell checker was not harmed in the production of this email -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8cCkcAcw6J3g6L9wRAsK+AJwM0C9lTxIc7yxreKKZujPaz4qoegCg1Knh Y9S8U+6u7u2HnEzGnssjhmg= =Uu7B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
