Howdy!

Since I started to use 1.3.52 I have noticed lockups when there is serious
disk-io. There is no panics or any logs of it. It just hangs.

Any1 else is experience this?

This has happened with both the 1.3.34 and 1.3.48 images of milo.(Btw, the
noname test-image of updateflash.bios.gz doesnt seem to work. It updates ok
I think (passes verify), but the machine refuses to boot from the sram...)

The above happens wheter I use asyncron or syncron transfers. (Btw, the
driver seems to work fine in sync/10Mhz.. Boosted my diskperf from 4.3 to
5.9M/s =).
