O.k., so far "no problems" with -13 "data=ordered". I write your advice 
to real paper and pin it over my desk to remember this advice after the 
new patch appeared... :-))

So far I assume I had more errors from my cheap hardware than from 
anything else (e.g. ReiserFS + any patch-combo) over the last 3..5..7? 
months. :-(

Last weekend after beeing heavily bugged by my notebook (no obvious 
errors any more) I decided to carefully disassemble it completely 
(warranty exceeded by 2 months), clean it and reassemble it:

Oleg was really right at the end! It was an overheating problem of a 
special kind: As my CPU lost its contact to its "little fixiating 
plastic piece part to the socket" (don't know the exact term ;-) ) the 
CPU was able to move some µm..mm in the socket. The CPU/fan - fan fixed 
with 4 screws over the CPU- obviously lost their contact when the fan 
went on working (torque) or the CPU/chipset decided to stop when the 
temperature went too high inbetween. Whooo, I have new 512MB Infineon 
notebook RAM through this case... Should I be quiet or report this to 
the manufacturer and/or their local outlet in .de, now?

The notebook now works like I bought it: fine, stable and the thermal 
(fan start/stop) patterns are quite well though I didn't replace the 
thermal pads between CPU&fan and the heatsink-to-graphix-and-chipset as 
always and everywhere recommended. (Oh, try to get these special parts 
once!!!)
We had up to 35°C today here in Germany. That's a good restart!

Best regards,
I'm really sorry for the traffic and attention due to this circumstance! 
I was really encouraged by Olegs comments finally, thanks to you, Oleg!

Thanks to all,

Manuel
