I have an EPIA M 10000 board (C3 nehemiah) I've put the 0.3.2l version on my box about 2.5 days ago. On the same day I put the fix, but before I did it, I had 5 or 6 hard locks. I haven't had a hard lock since. I haven't hammered the box completely. But I've done the following: - watched 3 movies while recording 2 others - now watching TV while transferring files over a wireless USB dongle (that gives me a 650Kbytes/sec bandwidth). I've transfered so far around 1.5 Go which is a huge number. Althought I am not 100% sure, I think this is a winner for me. It is a *huge* improvement. Note: my ERR count is still increasing albeit very slowly: it is around 3000 now, which is nothing compared to previous values, given the fact that the box has recorded around 10 hours of shows while displaying almost the same amount of videos/recorded programs. I will confirm in around a week or 2 of further testing. But for ther first time, I am feeling hopeful. I can live with 2 weeks MTBF, not with a 10 min one :) Chris thanks a lot.
