Was Having a lot of problems with the newer kernels 72 and up with adaptec adapt
ors.
Have now stopped using the PCI Bridge Optimization ( Experimental ) option ( set
this to NO )
and have been running for a few days with no corruption. I do not know if this
has corrected
all my problems yet though. Need to do some more testing.
