I tried running ampd from the console... it seems ok, and I was able to zzz my machine and wake it. Its still continueing to lock up. It happend at 8:30:08, and 1:30:05, and around 3:30 (but it blanked just before locking...) I was thinking of looking at my crontab... I have also noticed some errors: I get disk errors when waking (it takes a while for the disk to spin up, and there are some read errors (but it does say "(corrrected)"). and I also got an error on ne1 something about a DMA timeout or something... So, Im unsure what the cause is since the hardware has proven to be a bit flaky (good for pie crust, bad for machinery).
