Re: Dell Dimension 9150 with Fedora Core 4 Crashing

Hi,

we are not aware of this issue. Can you try with a non-SMP kernel to see 
if there is a difference? Did you tried the previous version of the 
driver (7.18.00.07) to see if you have the same issue? Please report the 
result of these test to [email protected].

All these tests should be done with 16K stacks kernels as we are aware 
of crash issues with 4K stacks kernels.
