The previous kernel I used was linux-2.6.22.1  and this kernel doesn't
have the problem. I discovered the problem when I built and installed
the "latest stable" 2.6.25.17. My main working disk, a new SATA,
showed severe errors during each reboot. I can duplicate this at
will and remove the errors by removing my second CPU!
