Hmmm - I love long quoting :-)
Ok, I've fixed that problem. It's not a very good way to fix it - but in
the CMOS setup you've got to dis-enable write-back caching in favour of
write-through caching. I think it's actually something to do with some PCI
machines (this error of mine is happening on a pci 486dx4/100) and changing
the CMOS like that fixes it.
On my other Linux box I have write back caching on (isa 486dx50) and it's
fine, so <shrug> it's working, and perhaps all-be-it a bit slower, but at
least it IS working.
