Hi Malcom,

I've been following your problems for a while, I have a 250 and a 350
myself and I have never had the problem you describe.

If I were you, before I started buying more hardware I would start from
scratch.  Get Debian unstable and use apt-get to install or get
knoppmyth and see if you can make it work.  Also I would pull the 250
out of the machine and just use the 350.

I know, this will take a couple of hours :-) but I just do not have that
problem.

If you go with debian unstable I'd be more than willing to share
tips/config files with you, that's what I'm running and it's really easy
to install and keep up with upgrades (after all, most of the developers
here are using that setup AFAIK)

good luck.
