Ethan,
As someone who is still a newbie in a lot of the "Debian ways", I am
curious. How is 2.2r3 different than doing apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
on 2.2r2?
My reasoning would be that doing the apt-get commands would bring you to
2.2r3 by virtue of potato being stable and 2.2r3 being potato.
Most likely a hardware problem.
