Netatalk crashes HD?

For what it is worth, with YDL 2.1 on a 7600/200 I was not able to get
the default mol (0.9.60?) to run.  With a 2.4.18 kernel (and therefore
a recompile of the mol kernel modules) this improved, but tended to
crash using netatalk.  Since upgrading to mol-0.9.64 and a G3/300 card
(XLR8 stock on sale) I have had no problem with crashes with
netatalk.  I have since used apt-get to upgrade to YDL 2.3, but have
not done much with mol/netatalk since (I mainly use it to transfer
scanned slides to YDL for CD burning).
