same problem here (powerbook5,2 w/ up-to-date breezy). i first suspected it could be a hardware defect, given that my pb hat recently been on repair and the airport slot decided to drop dead only two weeks later. but then, it happens only in lx and not in osx, which makes me infer, that it is *not* the hardware. more workload in terms of doing something or network activity seems to make the power losses likelier, though this is just a guts feeling. i mean to remember though, that immediately before the box switches off there seems to be increased fan activity. OTOH no logs, no messages, nothing. OTTH there might be something generated but not getting written anymore to disk. given the *extremely* irregular frequency of this failure i can well imagine that it went by undiscovered until too late. and while i am somewhat happy that it doesn't happen very often, i suspect that exactly this turns it into a harder problem, as well. :-( if there is something needing to be tested, let me know. best, sascha brossmann -- :: www.brsma.de :: ..: .:. . :.. ..: . . . . . . :: public key id 0x2EA549A0 ::.. :: . . . . .. . . . :: fingerprint 0A0C AE42 62F5 DB65 C5A1 E335 53FB 3888 2EA5 49A0
