Jan, The unit I was testing on ran into some bad memory problems. It took me a while to figure out that it was memory (errors accessing hard drive or cdrom). Of course this happened while I was rebuilding the kernel to include serial console output :-| I am swamped at work for the next day or so, but I should be able to get you a crash log by Saturday, I hope.
