Thx. I will try that. I am also compiling now the kernel with debug for devfs, maybe the kmsgdump will provide more info this way when it crashes. I will let you know what I find out. I think that even if I don't get that message or so, I will still try to convince the store to change my card with a A7N8X.:) I will probably try to take advantage that I am top client in their store (I always buy hardware for me and the firm there and top one) and that they have no clue whatsoever about linux except that they also sell it. :)
