Hi Tony, just a good guess based on the fact that ALL of Linux
crashes. It sounds very much like a Hardware failure. As a rule software
will not crash Linux. Now the z8530 hardware is capable of bringing down
Linux if it fails. So suggest you look at the driver software first and
then the actual x8530 hardware last. Check hardware by removing/replacing
for a check.
