Are you 100% sure? Absolutely. 2.6.12 and 2.6.12-git9 crash within minutes/seconds; OTOH, 2.6.13-rc1 (plus Hugh's patch) survives this torture test for hours (despite generating 30+ MB of kernel/IDE error messages :). No OOPS, no BUGs, no panics, just truck load of error messages. I haven't tested whether earlier releases of 2.6 suffer from this (such as 2.6.10, 2.6.11 ..) or other hardware combinations exhibit the same problem etc. Tell me, if you want me to.
