Well, I tested it all last night and still came up with no failures. I |
| 16 |
have tried booting into Windows (yuck) and it works reasonably well so |

I am guessing a problem with my Gentoo installation. I wanted to do a |
| 18 |
complete reinstall of everything (mostly due to swapping my hard |
| 19 |
drives), so I can live with the situation for the time being. |
