You may want to suspect the VIA chipset they have a know data corruption problem and I don't think they have fixed it yet. One independent software Testing company said a SoundBlaster Live card tended to make it more likely To occur. Your are not the first person I have heard this complain from. D.

I.E. two hard drives? Some hard IDE drives do not co-exist well with others. Your Motherboard supports UDMA 100 speeds. Are you REALLY using a UDMA cable instead of a standard IDE one? Linux cranks the drive speed up, so you really need the extra shielding on the cable. Also try lowering the xfer rate on the drive. Drop it to 33. Does this improve matters? -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Fedneg Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 10:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] System freezes when copying in second ide channel Hello: I've problems performing copies from first IDE channel to second one. After a few files copied the system freezes. I wonder if someone else has found similar problems because i cannot find any configuration error in the hardware. The box is an AMD Athlon 1.2 build with a Soltek mainboard (VIA Apollo KT266 series, South Bridge VT8233, North Bridge VT8366). I've enable DMA in both disks; and the filesystem is reiserfs. Any comment will be wellcome. Thank you. Fedneg
