Thank you for all the replies, I really appreciate. @Mark: I don't think it can be alignement errors, because such errors would appear on all NSLU2 running Debian, while I seem to be the only one to have such problems. Thank you anyway for the suggestion.

That sounds as a more likely issue. Is there anyway I can test the RAM on the NSLU2?

I see. What should I test? that the nominal voltage is proper and stable? However, if that was the case, the machine would fail erratically, I believe, while it appears to fail quite deterministically (upon an apt-get upgrade, for example).
