Both actually. I forgot to mention it, but I have been using first
the so-called "poor man install", which worked fine (for the limited
time I spent with it) and encouraged me to free some space and
install to hard disk, with Franz's knoppix-installer. The installer
did its job nicely, but then unfortunately things started to degrade.

I'll probably try that, but it seems unlikely that cloop is the
culprit, since I have problems when running from HD, hence when
no cloop-image is mounted...

That sounds interesting. Isn't syslogd started by default?
The crashes are so sudden I don't get to see any message, but then
again I am generally looking at my X session (aren't we spoiled
these days!) Can a panic message be visualised after a reboot,
through dmesg or something? Or were you suggesting I configure
/etc/syslog.conf appropriately ?-)
Thanks and regards.
