Well, it happened again, almost identical circumstances - reading a pdf
using xpdf, listening to amarok, plugging in the power cord, then
freeze. Here's the syslog from the 30 minutes prior to the first crash
yesterday:
Nov 12 13:04:45 blackbart -- MARK --

run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

Nov 12 14:25:32 blackbart acpid: client has disconnected
Nov 12 14:33:51 blackbart syslogd 1.5.0#5: restart.
And here's what I have immediately prior to today's crash (duplicate
DHCP lines snipped out):

I don't know why dhcp was trying to get a lease on ath0, as I was
connected via eth0. The fact that the crash seems to be related to the
power source suggests either a hardware problem or an acpi problem
though... I'll try and reproduce it. Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Tyler
