That's the error I was getting with the original program that led to
this thread.
I'll also try the PLD drivers and see how they go.
I've run the PLD patch process and the make to build the driver which I
am using at the moment. I'll monitor this for a while and see how it
goes. I'll also need to do the compile again as I have also just done an
update run which has updated to the 3.18 kernel.
