(my crash test is "bonnie -s 1024" :-)) I wonder what's different between our machines (apart from distro, which I wouldn't expect to be relevant)? Clock speed? We tried downclocking my Athlon to 1.0 GHz but it made no difference.
I've been tinkering (have no kernel programming experience) with selectively forward-porting the 2.4.3-ac6 code to newer kernels for my own use at least, but haven't got it right yet.
