   The speed increase is incredible, however the lock ups are a pain.
   If there is some information you need just let me know.  I will
   help if I can.  Oh yeah, I have an Ultra2 w/Creator 3D.

Please grab the latest kernel and try to reproduce.  I can almost
guarentee that you will not be able to as I have been doing an
enormous amount of stress testing of things.

There are two ways to get the latest at the moment:

1) http://cvs.on.openprojects.net/

   Follow the instructions for the vger kernel mirror repository
   and checkout the cvs module named "linux"

2) Grab the latest 2.2.3 linux sources and apply the latest
   2.2.4 pre-patch on top, this will be essentially the same
   thing as what you'd get from method #1.

   ftp://ftp.xx.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.3.tar.bz2
   ftp://ftp.xx.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/testing/pre-patch-2.2.4-6.gz

   Replace "xx" with your country code, it may take a little while for
   the pre-patch to reach the mirrors.

Please report back to me asap as Linus is going to release the real
2.2.4 some time tomorrow and if this is a kernel bug I need to fix it
before tomorrow morning.

Thanks.

Later,
