Hi
I've been reading all the sayings about the bp6 here and there are
definitely problems with it. I use one as a server with 6 IDE hard drives
(soft raid and stuffs) and I first used a 2.2.13-ac1 with the ide patch,
which was not really stable (crash every day or two). I now use a 2.2.13-ac3
with the ide patch, and :
# uptime
9:58am up 51 day, 22:55, 1 user, load average: 2.04, 2.03, 2.00
with a rc5 running...
it's rock solid.
