I have seen a lot of random X crashes lately though, and also a few instances of the system hanging and NumLock blinking (are these kernel panics?). I'm attaching the relevant part of /var/log/messages. I did do a bios update a few days ago, though. I'm running i686 (on a thinkpad x61t). The dump isn't very interesting, it's all 0xff. I'll also attach a modified kernel module for the latest intrepid kernel, in case somebody else is in a similar situation. Would it make sense to write some random junk in the EEPROM to see if the issue appears again? I don't need a network adapter at the moment.
