It freezes during tar from 3ware-driven IDE to aic-driven SDLT. This is identical to all previous rc (and some pre) releases of 2.4.21. So far I can tell you that the only thing that has recently cured this problem is replacing the aic-driver with latest of justins' releases. As plain rc6 does definitely not work I will now switch over to rc6+aic-20030523. Remember that rc3+aic-20030523 already worked quite ok (4 days test survived). My personal opinion is a known-to-be-broken 2.4.21 should not be released, as a lot of people only try/use the releases and therefore an immediately released 2.4.22-pre1 with justins driver will not be a good solution. Regards, Stephan
