Hi!

I have found a problem with my Peg 1 which can under some
circumstances lock all disk IO, requiring a reboot. After some
examination I managed to devise a fix so that this cannot happen.

It seems that this can only happen on machines with two memory
modules. However, I would like to find other Peg 1 users who can test
to see if it is a general problem, or something related to my setup
only.

If you have a Peg 1 and two memory modules, please contact me at
<jrblom@mtek.chalmers.se> and I will send you a small diagnostics tool
to see if the problem can be reproduced on your system. If it can,
I'll send you a fix. The tool is completely harmless, it only reads
data, so there's no risk except that you may need to reboot (and you
can have the source in case you don't trust me ).

Please tell me if you have no april, april 1 or april 2.

This doesn't seem like the same problem. To me it seems like you had a
(combination of) memory modules that the Peg 1 couldn't handle.

The problem I'm talking about occurs only in very special situations.
You can boot your machine and run memtest and everything will appear
to work perfectly.
