Yeah, I know - it's dead and chewed, but seems to be the best we can
get at the moment... hmmm... haven't tried 2.6.0 yet.

Shame there's not more choice of chipset on cheap MBs - anything other
than VIA or nVIDIA is really hard to find, so it's buggy chipset vs.
nasty non-freeness issues. The VIA bugs appear to have been rendered
harmless, albeit not totally nullified - I've had no data corruption - 
so I'll stick with my policy of not supporting non-OSS-friendly
hardware suppliers :-)
