Guilty. The sad thing is that's just the tip of my politically incorrect iceberg. The nvidia driver (and the attempt at agpgart) is loaded when X starts, long after the potential SATA related crash. I changed my default init level and rebooted a few times to verify the crash, so I'm pretty sure that neither agpgart or the proprietary graphics driver are involved in the problem. jeff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
