Apparently the problem resulted from several factors. While the random crashing every day or two has remained unresolved, it may have had to do with the hard drive, which eventually crashed. It was simple coincidence, or at least a seperate set of circumstances, that caused the crashing every few minutes with the new hard drive. The new Debian install’s hotplug and discover components conflicted with the motherboard’s USB controller. Disabiling those two modules and just putting in the correct modules for mouse, etc. manually fixed the problem. Hooray!!! 🙂

It’s quite possible that discover2 (which isn’t in Debian yet, IIRC) and kernel 2.6.0 will fix those problems you were experiencing. We’ll see, they should be out relatively soon.
Now let’s put some of that effort from the computer in to the German class.
