Exactly--that's why I'm trying to figure out which version of the
driver (kernel and modules) is (thought to be) the most stable and
bug-fixed.
There are a number of messages on the Linux kernel mailing list about
IDE disk corruption, and there a number of patches for various versions
of the 2.4.1x kernel, but it's not clear which patches fixes known
problems vs. which try to add new functionality to the otherwise-stable
2.4 kernel series.
