Not true....

unfortunatley I cannot seem to find the old mails on this. Probably got lost 
when upgrading my WinBox. But I'm very shure about this, why else would I burn 
a nice board and get me an expensive new one??? It is still somewhere in my 
storage....

I had several people look at my kerneldumps. (I even needed to fix a small bug 
for that in doadump().) Nobody seemed to be able to really explain what was 
wrong, and everything magically went away when I bought the Tyan board. So 
please don't tell me I was smoking something illegal.
