Hmmm.  Is the cache set to write-through rather than write-back with
this motherboard?  I've heard that you don't want to run it in
write-back mode due to some DMA conflict botches, though I may have
the wrong motherboard in mind.

Hmmm.  It's being cute, but perhaps too much so..  I'll take the
umount out..

Ummm..  That's kind of an unexpected thing to do.. :-)  Perhaps I should
put in a check to make sure only one's running at a time! :)

Hmmm..  Odd..  I'll go look.

Thanks for the feedback!
