I get the same error >panic: kmem_malloc: kmem_map too small< sporadicly under
heavy disc-I/O, i.e. compiling gcc from two directories or one compile and
one 'find / -name ...'. After the reboot I am able to work normaly. No
disc-crash. I have the patch-kit 0.1 without the wd8013-patch.

Another problem is my keyboard. Every time I press the 'caps-lock'-key the
machine stops. After remapping the key to 'cntl' all work fine.

Sometime i think it had something to do with the memory. Are there any
good public test programs avalible?
