are you any closer to finding the problem? I have the exact same symptoms on a 5501-70 (comBIOS ver. 1.32i) unit purchased last December. it woked flawlessly until March, but it is freezing up ever since in a random fashion - sometimes once per week, yesterday 5 times. I'm using Gentoo Linux with the latest 2.6 kernel. thank goodness for the watchdog kernel patch so I don't have to manually reset the thing each time. > When it locks up, the front panel seems to be operating > as if nothing is wrong.

I blamed the PSU and the wireless card first, changed them both (to meanwell RS-25-12 and intersil prism 200mW) with no results. memtest86+ gave me an ok for all tests. what is interesting is that we have almost the same CF card, mine being a SanDisk SDCFX3-8192 (Extreme III 8G). do you happen to have a different CF you could try in your setup? > Any ideas where to turn? > > Thanks, Tuc cheers, peter -- petre rodan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager Simplex SRL, Bucharest
