Hi Andreas


I think I have pinpointed this to my on-board Firewire ... if I
disable it in BIOS I get uptime of > 20 min for both your r25000
image
as well as my patched r25032. Could this be, or is it pure
coincidence?


That's good to hear. And as I replied to Rene, it is possible. If the
firewire driver overwrites memory it does not really own (because it
freed it already) then this can easily lead to such problems with
inconsistent crashes. If you reenable and just remove the firewire
driver you should get the same result in that case.
On first try, it does work for > 20 min with firewire bus_manager moved away! 

In case it matters, listdev says:

device Serial bus controller (FireWire (IEEE 1394), OHCI) [c|0|10]
  vendor 1106: VIA Technologies, Inc.
  device 3044: IEEE 1394 Host Controller

Thanks,

Andreas
