First I thought it got something to do with connecting via samba to

the whole working period. So it happens out of the blue, no time
predictable or anything... It just stops like wanting to say I need

break.
That is most likely to be a thermal problem. Once I had a PCMCIA
network card that stopped working after 30 minutes in a particular
room of the house -- it turned out that the temperature was a bit
higher there, and the cooling just could not cope with it.
In the meantime I also do believe that the problem could be of heating
too much. I called the guye who does bigger repairs for me on the PB
and he said no that can't be he never saw a Pismo overheating or
having
a broken fan or tempretaure messurement.
He gave blame to the System (Debian) which I don't believe....
I remember having problems with my pismo a couple of month ago with
casual kernel crashes. I first though of a heating problem, because
I had not heart the fan for quite a long time. Well it wasn't. It
finally was fixed by a new kernel (must be around 2.6.5).
After that it worked without problems and the fan hasn't moved a bit
till today. Sometimes I tend to believe the fan is simply broken, but
the system has been quite often under heavy load without any problems,
ever after 4 years of almost daily use.
That's good to hear that it could be something else than a heating
problem. The problem is that my kernel is 2.6.8 so newer than the one
you told me. So I guess it wasn't that!
