Hate to be like this, but I was wrong again. The box is not entirely dead, but blinks read (for the first time it behaves like this, I haven't physically looked at the box until now, today). Timestamp in IML entry roughly matches dmesg time (off by 20 minutes after a week looks normal to me). So it _is_ the cause (?).
