Yeah, it's occurred to me, but it's yet to happen. I fought with the thing for 48 hours, and after settling on a K6 kernel w/'Enhanced' enabled, I've not had a single problem.

I gave it another go with 2.4.6-pre3 this morning, hoping something had snuck in ;) -- Cory 'G' Watson You know what we need, Hobbes? We need an attitude.
