Nope, its the other way around; 50 for 2.4.22, and 27 for 2.4.21 > > You have in _both_ dmesg messages acpi disabled (that means that acpi > can't be related with that). > > What is more strange is that in 2.4.21 your disk is recognized as UDMA33 > one, instead of UDMA100. > > Could you check that your cable is UDMA100 really? > > -hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63, > UDMA(33) +hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, > CHS=9729/255/63, UDMA(100) > > This are the relevant lines.

I've also put the 2.4.22 kernel on my other machine (NF7-S V1.2, which is normally very stable), and X crashed after 3 hours, with console video knackered. Will keep everyone posted. > Thanks, Juan.
