I installed from the release from the ftp site (while waiting for my
subscription to come in), and on a relatively lightly-loaded machine
did end up with a few "Someone reset Channel A" messages during disk
to disk dump/restore, only one of which caused panic. Not too
serious, but if I move the machine to production use I will probably
take the performance hit and go with an EIDE drive, just to be sure.
But hopefully this problem will be history by then!
