1. Problem - Cyclades PC300

I was tried to use Cyclades PC300 driver from 2.4.25. But after
loading module 'pc300.o', my machine completely hangs. Hard reset
is necessary to restart a computer.

In previous kernel versions, I was using drivers from page:
http://hq.pm.waw.pl/hdlc/, which works OK. And also 2.4.25
with patch from this page (module pc300too.o) is OK and stable.

2. Problem - SiS 5513 (kernel 2.4.25 too)

When I compiled in SiS 5513 IDE driver, there was a lot of
such error messages:

hda: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

and machine hangs for a while. It happens very often.

These problems disappeared, when I turned off this driver in
menuconfig.

Maybe, there is a hardware problem with this machine, but now
this computer working OK as router and firewall. :)

I hope this mail helps. :)))
