    Hi

    I found a way which seems to lead to an "easy" way of fs-corruption:
    Install two sound-cards, use the newest ALSA-Drivers 0.5.10b
    (the standard sound drivers don't work to good with sf) and
    talk with speak-freely (7.2) with full-duplex enabled and playing
    sound on the first card using xmms.
    I nearly get a Message to check the fs on the largest partition by hand
    on every boot. Any hints or ideas (please, it's so annoying of "loosing" files
    every n-th reboot)?
    My configuration:
    MSI K7T Pro (VIA KT133) with AMD TB 700
    Sound Card #1: Leadtek WinFast 4Xsound (cmi-chipset)
    Sound Card #2: Onboard Sound Via Southbridge
    Graphics: Geforce 256 DDR
    Kernel: 2.4.2-pre1 (I didn't manage to get 2.4.2-pre[23] properly patched)
    I didn't touch the ide settings with hdparm but the kernel seems to use
    DMA by default:
    /dev/hda:
     multcount = 0 (off)
     I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
     unmaskirq = 1 (on)
     using_dma = 1 (on)
     keepsettings = 0 (off)
     nowerr = 0 (off)
     readonly = 0 (off)
     readahead = 8 (on)
     geometry = 3737/255/63, sectors = 60036480, start = 0

    Thanks in advance for any hints!
    Tim
