Last time I experienced something like this was on a desktop which had incompatible memory modules fitted. Trial and error resulted in me removing all but one module and the crashes miraculously stopped! Knoppix alone would not cause any crashes whatsoever, but as soon as updatedb and an emerge were to take place simultaneously, the system would crash. In particular, it would usually crash when the memory of the modules was about to be exhausted and the system was going to start writing on the swap partition. It wouldn't happen every single time, but towards the end it was happening every time I booted the darn thing up. I hope this helps. -- Regards, Mick
