I do not have any USB device ( only firewire ). But I will disable CPUfreq again. I had it always disabled with the old patches and only enabled it as you said it should be save now with #7 ;-)Hrm... try without firewire too, just in case ...I can not, I am a firewire developer ;-)I know :) The point of the exercice is to test wether the problem originates from the firewire drivers ...
I finally came around to repeat the test with CPUfreq disabled: No crash so far.
So my configuration is: iBookG4 800 Mhz running on 600 Mhz, cpufreqd disabled. Firewire is enabled ( no devices attached ) Sound is enabled ( no audio streams open ) USB is enabled ( no devices attached ) This seems to run rather stable.So it seems that enabling cpufreqd causes memory corruption when the frequency changes.
