Post-mortem debugging is what would be needed here, but as that will probably never be available on the empeg

Actually, I thought this capability did exist. Isn't there something you can do on the developer image to get the thing to output some logging data to the empeg's hard disk?

In any case, as you've said, it's probably a hardware problem of some kind, and software debugging logs are usually only useful for finding software faults. You've been in touch with support over these issues, right?
