Yes I have forgotten some information:
Kernel 2.0.36, distribution SuSE6.0 (but not the SuSE-Kernel), SMP-machine
with dual PII-400 and three U2W (one onboard, Asus). The others are working
fine and I thought also of a termination problem - checked it therefore,
but will check it again today. We had data loss (25GB of test data, not so
worse, but the macine once should serve "real" data...).
I will try the patch also. Thanks,
Dietmar
