I don't use UDMA. I probably would like to, but last I heard the UDMA drivers for the chipset were beta. Besides that is not part of the point.
The machine didn't change between corruption and noncorruption. What changed was I reformatted the hard drive using the newer linux and it went away. It seems there are still some bugs in that new translation stuff that went it. I don't know if they have been fixed or not. I was just saying they had caused me similar corruption and messages to some shown here. AGAIN THIS WAS ON THE SAME BOX. This one I am on now, the similar one, never had the corruption or messages.
