Essentially, everything I found looked more like timing changes,
not like some fundamental bug. Which is why I'm suspicious of
timing and hardware issues.
This is precisely the sort of behavior I saw with my crappy WDC disk
on my workstation. Some kernels would give me corruption once every 3
to 4 months with DMA enabled, others would give me corruption once a
day.
I really think you'll find western digital to be a serious common
denominator if you asked these %1 people for the brand of disk they
are using. A large percentage of all DELL machines out use these
disks by default.
