Now 2.5 is happily running on my desktop as well. 2.5.38-mm2 has been stable for me on uni, what is the status of SMP? I had what looked like logical to physical mapping problems on a BP6 and Abit dual P5C-166, resulting in syslog data on every drive including those with no Linux partition. That was somewhere around 2.5.22 to 2.5.26. > 2.5 IDE stability should be just as good as 2.4-ac.
