Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Problem with the changing order of drives

All,

I finally found the problem: Xubuntu install irqbalance by default (Gentoo
doesn't) which cause problem to my Gigabyte motherboard. Un-installing it
brought my system back to its pre-Xubuntu stability.
Thanks to all who answered my message!
