What do you suggest? Disabling the hardware cache? Why would the 2.2-CURRENT and NetBSD kernels not have the problem? I'm fairly sure that 2.2-CURRENT (as of saturday) _doesn't_ have the SEGV problem, just the biodone problem. I am willing to accept that it is my ASUS if nobody else has seen the problem. I will try it after disabling my cache, etc. (i.e. load BIOS default) -Andrew
