It's too soon to tell for sure because I also cleared up some disk space, but this is the first full week of uptime I've actually had in a very long time.

2.6.12-22mdk (Mandriva's kernel package) and was running 2.6.12-12mdk, so it may be worth inquiring to see if there's something they've fixed in the last couple months that may be related.<br><br>Ryan<br></div><br></div><br>
