Well, it ain't that bad on all /260s - mine stayed up for a week at a
stretch, twice in a row. (Running the binary snapshot kernel (MD5
checksum 6b9a54935a7c05155e7dd669a6226098).) You must have some sort
of hardware problem, or else your system is provoking a software bug
mine isn't...'course, I don't have an xy disk at all.
