It seems I have a failing RAM problem. I ran memtest86+ and got lots of errors in test #7 (random number sequence), in the whole address space. Looks like that might be the cause of the lockups and also some weird kernel oops'es which I've been experiencing. I'll try fixing that and if it still keeps crashing, I'll be in touch. -- Luis Sousa Abra sua conta no Yahoo! Mail, o único sem limite de espaço para armazenamento! http://br.mail.yahoo.com/
