Hmm, I wonder whether this is in any way related to what Pavel and Cyril reported in the 'bit error' thread. Dave, does your bootloader have any memory test built-in? Do you see the same issues with any older kernel? FWIW, we're currently hunting a strange bug with hanging tasks, which only seems to affect systems with Wifi enabled. That might be totally unrelated to both of these issues though. Daniel
