Sadly now I get another problem. I tried to compile mozilla on this
machine and after ~30 minutes it powers itself down. I tried this twice,
same result. I assume this is caused by ACPI because I have seen such
behaviour on other OSs, but of course I cannot be sure. OTOH I have
successfully compiled xfce4 , which went much longer without power off.
Any ideas what could cause the powerdown or how I could find it out?
