the next best thing to having a serial port is to edit /etc/rsyslog.conf, and change the destination of all the logs from /var/log to somewhere nonvolatile, like /home/olpc/log (be sure to create the directory). then either reboot, or "killall -HUP rsyslogd" to make the config change take effect. this might give some information on what was going on before the hang. paul > > > Might also be worth running memtest from OFW as well, just to exclude > > certain other causes. > > Ran memtest (from 30m up as Richard suggested), passed, no errors. > > I also took out the battery to make sure everything is reset.
