These problems occur under >heavy SCSI activity to a disk and a CD-ROM drive. mysterious. we seem to have same systems, and after applying the two patches, i haven't had any more hangups (crossing fingers ..). the only difference seems to be, that i have set my value of MAX_KMAPENT to 2000, because when i set it to 1000, prior to applying the second patch, it didn't solved the problem, and i did not reset it to 1000 after the second patch. it seems, that now i have the same stable systems as i had with late 0.0. hellmuth -- hellmuth michaelis HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH hamburg, europe hm@hcshh.hcs.de tel: +49/40/55903-170 fax: +49/40/5591486
