But the machine will occationally hang, forcing me to use the reset button. I lost my mbox file to this (from an ext3 fs, on raid-1 on scsi.) It is hard to say wether the fs problem merely is an effect of hanging with rc6. With rc5, there definitely was some sort of io/scsi problem as one disk was "lost" until I booted a working kernel. Currently, it seems like I won't be able to use 2.6.13. Helge Hafting
