Paul Bame has noticed a problem that seems to occur on B2600 with SYM1 driver, causing the box to slow down everything and increasing the loadavg, while top reports 99% idle. When this happens, one can hear HD making strange noise: two grouped "ticks" every 2 seconds or so. I have experienced this behavior by myself, and it seems that using SYM2 driver solves this problem. Now I'm asking you to know if anybody has an objection against making SYM2 the default driver in debian-configs instead of old SYM1. Thanks, Thibaut VARENE PA/Linux ESIEE Team http://pateam.esiee.fr/
