Thanks for the info. Yes, this is what I am seeing a lot on linux user lists... "Don't use kernel 2.6.8.1 - it is broken" and so forth. Which is why I was looking to gain some insight into the k3b problem so I feel I know a little about the subject when on the lists... And also like to do testing when I can to help... what little help it might be. thanks, tim - 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/
