No, I only have a single PagasosII machine.

The top of the stack is always the same; entry into the block/LVM code
comes from different paths.

That is difficult to tell, as several versions prior to this one would
panic in the Marvell Ethernet driver.

I have switched to another machine. Given sufficient time, I might get
around to retrying it on the PegasosII; if there is a motivated
developer who might want such a box, I'd also be prepared to give the
machine away to good hands.

Difficult right now.
The machine is a standard PegasosII, with Radeon 9200SE graphics, an
Exsys EX-1065 USB expander card (NEC chipset) and a Cologne Chip ISDN card.
