Hey all,
I've found some interesting news on the kernel issue I've been working on
with my machine. Last week, Promise submitted a kernel patch fixing
stability issues with its ATA133 controllers and the linux kernel. The
thread from the linux.kernel mailing list can be found here on deja:

This discussion, mainly between a Promise developer and Alan Cox seems to
have a lot to do with the non-existant stability I've been experiencing with
2.4.18. Some of Red Hat's developers have also weighed in on this. Maybe
Mandrake should look into it as well. This issue is only going to get bigger
and bigger as more and more ATA133 drives hit the market. -- Dave
