For the last week, I've had all sorts of random reboots on a normall= y=20 rock solid system. Yesterday I noticed that whenever I was looking at a=20 console, the machine was stable as usual, but when X was visible, the ATA=20 drives would throw spurious READ_DMA timeouts. I downgraded from=20 nvidia-driver-1.0.8776 to .8774 and the problems have completely disappeare= d=20 and the system is back to normal. I know it sounds silly and I can't explain it, but the most recent NVidia=20 drivers made my system feel as stable as Windows ME on an overclocked Cyrix= =2E =20 I'm posting this here mainly for the benefit of anyone else who might be=20 having similar problems. =2D-=20 Kirk Strauser --nextPart1285595.C5HlZ2SSqO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFVjhD5sRg+Y0CpvERAgWkAJ0SEwYbYilX0eIroKUUUSe/FzCkvQCdHWNc 1PZHu/EfScVB+b90RvW+e/E= =Hb7u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1285595.C5HlZ2SSqO--
