No, no reproducable lockups exept for when i netboot an Irix box from
this box. However i did'nt test this recently with the new 1.6
installation (this is another story...).

Building from sources locked the box up too several times.

I am using the box as kind of router between my powerbook which doesn't
work together with my cheap switch and network traffic didn't cause it
to lock up.

Months? No my box locked up several times during building samba for
example.

I received the qube2 with just one 64mb module. I don't know if this is
the factory setup however.
Swap should work, yes.

I have 256mb swap and it is used at startup.

Ok, so far it seems to be a hardware problem. I will try to check the
memory. Thank you all for your replies,
