I'm pretty sure it correlates with swap load, but I can't be 100% sure. Actually today, to start debugging the Tekram SCSI card support, I've got hold of a 2nd Cayman. The boot gets much further on this wrt the SCSI than in the old one. So perhaps it's just that the older Cayman has a defective PCI. -- Richard \\\ SuperH Core+Debug Architect /// .. At home ..
