It all started gradually with it sometimes not coming back from sleep. This was when I tested 2.6.x with x<=8 kernels from Debian. Going back to old kernels did not help, though they did run nicely for a longer period. Later it got worse: The timer made pauses, the system time was off afterwards, though the hardware clock was still fine. Disk and mouse would still move, but any command that needed a signal for time would not work (e.g. sleep 1) on a shell would pause for a minute. The machine did not make computing mistakes, it just took a break. This started after I compiled a lot of KDE stuff during a few hacking days at aKademy, so maybe this has something to do with overheating. Currently the system sometimes does not start up at all. Even when doing a reset there is not startup sound or it hard freezes a few minutes later. I did try the test CD from Apple, but could not find anything. No MacOS on that machine anymore. I zapped the nvram several time now, without further help and my diagnosis is that the hardware has some problems. Bernhard
