Don't know much about linux ... But i checked the 4.4.99.901 snapshot with CentOS 3.4 rescue CD, with the same results. In the same time, i checked that the 4.3.0 server provided by the CD works fine. > Another step would be to compare the sequence and parameters for the int10 > calls made by the 4.4.0 version of the driver vs the current version.
