It appears 2.6.13-rc6 has enough SATA/libata fixes that stop the DMA read/write locks (the .ordered_flush ops seems to do it). I did also flash the BIOS to the latest release as well (but older 2.6.13-rcX releases had problems still). Thanks, Shawn. -Original Message- From: Shawn

You can take the .exe file and turn this into a bootable CD (using a RW CD) I forgot how I did it, but if I remember correctly, I took a floppy dos image and made that into the boot 'stub' and threw the exe into the CD (a la El-Torito). I flashed the disk firmware once since I got the laptop.
