In fact, both seem to have suffered a genuine kernel panic, which is also visible in the last few lines of the log I provided today. So, basically, both machines are now sitting at my home in panic state and I'll only be able to resurrect them wheh I'm physically there again tonight. But that was expected; I could have waited with the test until I'm at home, which makes things easier, but I thought the sooner I can provide a log for you to look at, the better. ;-) Greetings Nils
