Three things:
1/ did you try the backported audio stuff I posted yesterday - there were
some issues that were resolved between 2.2.xx and 2.3/4.xx these should be
present in the backport. It does work OK against 2.2.17pre10-ben1.
2/ You could try separating out audio, X, & network-related fault areas by
running each area separately for a while?
3/ It tends to look (as Michel said yesterday) potentially like a hardware
problem. I assume you have no over-clocking or stuff like that going on?
(unlikely on PPC I agree but I thought I'd ask).
BTW I've never had a random lock-up on Xpmac...
good luck,
Iain.
