I just did... I'm still running 2.2.1-R, but I did run the latest bt848 driver on XF3.3... but it still crashed... it did take a while longer to lock up the bt946 (my scsi controler) than before... before just a small amount of disk activity would lock up the bus, but not it took it a ls -lR a while (about 5+ seconds) before it locked up... right now I'm looking at upgrading to 2.2.2-R and see if that will help any... if I had another scsi controler, I'd try that... hmm. I could dig up an old NCR 53c400 based controler, I'll see what I can do... ttyl.. -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
