For me, compiling a kernel or such was deadly. Not always, and the buffer cache seemed to cover up for this until next reboot. Ate half of /etc once, and kernel sources regularly.
I have: Intel PIIX4 Ultra 33 Chipset. --------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel ------------- enabled enabled --------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1 ------ DMA enabled: no no no yes UDMA enabled: yes no no no UDMA enabled: 2 X X X UDMA DMA PIO
(Master, drive0 is the disk (WDC WD135AA); slave, drive1 is ATAPI CD (CRD-8400C)) [Yes, I know, but I'm not supposed to open the case (warranty)] -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Viña del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
