Looking at the call trace indicates some interaction with cdroms. I'm going to install something on the harddisk and see, if things are still working.I think the crashing program is hald-probe-storage, included in "hal" package. So, if you install and run it at startup, you should be able to reproduce it. Bye, Giuseppe
Interesting. I had an ip32 totally stable and happy on 2.6.18-4. It had been updated against the testing feed many times with no problems, then I didn't have a chance to do it for a couple months. I just updated a couple days ago, same kernel, just a re-sync with the testing feed, and it crashed 4 times durring the update and I had to keep hitting the reset button and starting things over until I slugged through it. It seemed to coincide with restarts of udev and certain other system utilities.
Makes one wonder if some user space change triggered a kernel bug that's been there for a while.
