Next thing I did was a 12 hour test, but it didn't quite survive that... after about 2 hours, the thing rebooted and it turned out that the disk parameters in the cmos were overwritten ;-(). This brings me to another point: though I haven't seen the system panicing often lately, each time it actually panics, it doens't dump core on the swap device as should be (I think). So no post mortem coredumps anymore. I am sure it worked a few months ago..Anyone having a solution? -Guido
