That would be perfect!


It thought that it could depend on my 64 Bit configuration an switched 
back to 32bit yesterday.

But then I got a panic, again.


It seems to me that the panic only occurs if the network interfaces are 
busy and additionally other data is transferred, e.g. over USB (onto my 
external harddrive, it's NTFS, but that dousn't matter).


Therefore the pci=nomsi could be a rational solution, if large data 
transfers between different PCI-devices blocks each other.


Thanks, I'll try it, too.
