Hmm, I know someone who had to underclock his P166+ as a P150+, or else
random blocks read from his Symbios 815 scsi would contain only null bytes,
which confuses the hell out of ext2. It wasn't a cooling problem, as there's
a hefty heatsink with thermal conducting compound and a fan, and happened
directly after a (real) cold boot. Probably a motherboard problem, I think
(Chaintech). Anyway, now the system's been running with zero problems since.
