Thanks for looking at this, I think that you are correct... someone had plugged in the wrong power adapter into this box, and thusly ( 6-8 Volts @ 800ma ) goofed up the CF card... I think that the extra power of the CF disk IO from the find command caused this box to crash every day. Oh well, live an learn, and smack those that plug in the wrong power cord!

I'm CCing misc for the archive so that if someone else runs into these issues they may also have a clue as to what may be going on.

Hello.

It looks like a problem in the CF card.  Would it be possible reinstalling
the operating system on the Soekris?  Does this problem always happen in
the same inode?  Or, even better, would it be possible trying a new CF
card on the Soekris?  If you do not have a need for a specific CF card,
I would suggest trying a SanDISK CF.  These cards are not expensive at
all and work fine on the Soekris appliances.

Hopefully, it looks like a bad CF card, not a bad Soekris.

Cheers,
Igor.
