With Intrepid, I am working "mostly" fine with noapic on a 1680x1050 monitor; audio and networking work fine, as well as access to an NTFS file system.

On a large build I get random errors that go away simply by reissuing the make command and make starts up from where it left off and continues. It took 3 tries to build firefox.

More repeatable is an rsync of a large file: Windows 7 is 2.3 gig. The resulting file didn't match md5 values. Reissuing rsync would replace about 1% of the file and produce yet another md5 value. Reissuing the rsync again would again replace about 1% of the file (presumably different blocks) and produce yet another md5 file. Doing this several times results in new md5 values each time.

I already captured some data: http://intertwingly.net/stories/2009/01/22/

If anybody has something they want me to install and can tell me what data to capture, I would be quite willing to take out all of the hard drives, stick in a spare 80gig or so drive and do a clean install and report back.
