Can you give a try to my current rsync tree (linuxcare.com.au::linux-
pmac-benh) and tell me if it helps ?

Okay I got that kernel working but it crashed overnight :(. Seems like
the problem is still there. It seems to happen most often when I'm
listening to streaming mp3's (ie. internet radio stations or the like)
if that helps.

Three things:

1/ did you try the backported audio stuff I posted yesterday - there were
some issues that were resolved between 2.2.xx and 2.3/4.xx these should be
present in the backport.  It does work OK against 2.2.17pre10-ben1.

2/ You could try separating out audio, X, & network-related fault areas by
running each area separately for a while?

3/ It tends to look (as Michel said yesterday) potentially like a hardware
problem.  I assume you have no over-clocking or stuff like that going on?
(unlikely on PPC I agree but I thought I'd ask).

BTW I've never had a random lock-up on Xpmac...

good luck,
Iain.
