Hello.

Short mail, because I really shouldn't be talking to Alan Cox himself, as
you are a real guru, and I'm really not. ;-)

Anyway: about this message, posted a while ago:

I have the same problem, and i AM running software raid. Therefore I would
very much like to know why you asked that question. For now, i changed back
to kernel 2.2.15, hoping that this solves the problems. But if they are
related to the raid stuff, please give me some pointers where to continue to
read, or what to do now.

(last two weeks two freezes) (so: nt runs more stable than linux at the
moment ;-))
