Mine too.
You could run memtest86+ for at least 12 hours or until the first error.
Can I download an iso image of a boot CD with memtest86+ somewhere? I have only this single Linux machine at the moment, and there's no chance at all that the machine works long enough that I am able to install the package and understand how to create an image.
Another idea: you could test the system with another version of Debian,or with Ubuntu, Knoppix, or another live CD, and see if you can reproduce the problem with that.
That's exactly what I did and why I am reporting this as a Debian bug: It never occurred when booting from a Knoppix CD, even after hours.
The only thing that is different hardware-wise is that the harddisk is mostly inactive in Knoppix.
Is there any live system available which can handle lvm volumes? I think I even have some free disk space for an additional partition to install the live system on harddisk. But I cannot access it from Knoppix, and didn't find information on lvm in the Knoppix FAQ.
TIA, Frank
