Thanks for your reply. OK, I changed my sources.list to unstable

Thanks for typing in the whole mess.

This looks like a bug that was recently fixed:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-July/
035965.html
What should I do?
Two things.
First, run "reportbug kernel-image-2.6.10-1-32".

Secondly, you can try a bleeding edge kernel from here:

hth,

One week later and I've finally had the chance to put your advice
into practice. As you said, the bleeding edge kernel did not work.
I ran "reportbug kernel-image-2.6.10-1-32", but this added a report
to the local mail queue and I don't yet know how to configure exim
(postfix is my weapon of choice).
May be this paper would help you (as it did for me ;-) ) to configure exim4:
<http://trekweb.com/~jasonb/articles/exim4_courier/exim4.html>
That said, in p-l m-l
<http://parisc-linux.org/mailing-lists/index.html>, you would find a lot
of exchanges on the pb linked to the use of fp-regs in the p-l kernel,
as introduced in the 2.6.9 developement.
In short, I replaced the original HDD with a 9.1 GB Seagate drive and
this seems to have cured the problem. My C240 has now been solid for
2 days with the stock 2.6.8-2-32 kernel, so I'm a happy chap :-)
Yes debian stock kernel 2.6.8, imho, is probably the most stable for
the moment.
