Not with heavy io, but=20 almost when I boot and enter X. The system gets completly frozzened and=20 the HD led keps on. When I reboot with a sane kernel, I found several=20 files from my /home directory are deleted or filled with garbage. Now, I patch each kernel I use with the two patches Andrew sent to me=20 and I'm having no problems. Actually i'm running 2.6.2-ck1 + nforce-patches and the temperature of=20 the system is 55=BA while idle, and 631 while compiling (only cpu fan, no= =20 case fans). I don't know if it's high (some people reported high=20 temperatures with this patches) but it runs very well this way. If you want for me to test some patches or something, please drop me a no= te. Thanks a lot... Luis Miguel Garc=EDa P.S.: by the way, why am I getting strage "arabesque" characters when I=20 reply to your emails?
