just to add, digging further, i found this:

	http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1463045&group_id=42302&atid=447449

	"...
	
	The only difference is with the new driver, the system can
	survive the issue.
	
	And if i disable the tso, the driver becomes stable!
	(I am not so sure, need more testing...)
	
	..."


now, i'll get on with trying to 'do' what you'd suggested above ...

thanks.
