I was wondering if anybody on this list experienced hardware reliability problems with this platform. I am running ELDK 3.1.1. I have seen the kernel hang several times, and a Oops a few times too. The reason I suspect that this is a hardware problem is that these seem to happen at completely random times, and the Oopses, in random places. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I have any of my own modules loaded or not, and I've even seen these problems occur in the bootloader. I'm hoping for an answer along the lines of "Ah, you must have the 'fail randomly' dip switch set!" TIA, Alex
