It was indeed a problem with the kernel: the cpufreq driver caused the sata driver to produce tons of DriveSeekErrors, which then cause the system freeze. But for some reason, those problems only occured when using xine. Anyway, disabling cpufreq scaling solved the problem. But I'd really like to use cpufreq scaling, so if you have any ideas how xine could relate to the problem, please tell me. - Marius ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
