The past week I've had a few "stalls" I'll call them while listening in the car.

A song will come up (different ones, each time it's done this) and it will lock up the player ... sometimes I just have to hit a button to bring it back to life, other times I have to actually pull out the player (while it's on) and plug it back in several times to get it to unfreeze.

Usually it's the latter. It will lock up in a song for about thirty seconds before I yank it out. I let it sit a few seconds (capacitors discharge or whatever) and plug it back in. Usually it then hangs on the boot logo and I have to do this several times before it returns to normal operation.

I have yet been able to get it to do this while at home with a serial connection.

I finished an fsck on the drives and no errors came up.

Anyone ever seen this before? The only similar thing I've seen is where the IDE cable was loose and it would always hang at the boot logo ... but this is intermitent now ...

I'm lost ... it's done this about 6 times in the past 8 days. If it does it again, I'm backing out to the standard 2.0b7 I guess. I'm curious if it's software or hardware ... could be either I guess.
