This is especially a problem with laptops that have small fans that
may not be properly managed by the kernel.
Check your BIOS to see if you can control the fan, or do a overtemp shutdown.

What? Why all other OS's including TC 2.5 and 2.4, 2.3, .... are running fine for a week or more time continously on max CPU speed and below 55 C except MANDRIVA 2010 and TC 2.6rcx? Definitely it is not a heat problem, as freeze happens immediately where CPU and all the system is cold. If you run 2.5, 2.6, 2.5, 2.6, ... one after the other 2.5 runs while 2.6 freeze. Also, when MANDRIVA 2010 heated the system I recognized it by fingers touching the housing and not by the errors running it.

Most freezes as you well know better than I occur due to code being corrupted as a result of self modification (stack overflows) or improper execution (memory leaks). I doubt you will find a memory hardware failure. More likely will be a driver that is acting up. Perhaps you could disable hardware peripherals in the bios as a test.

Tinycore 2.6rc2 Base norestore boot code gives error ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables". USB doesn't seem to be recognized at any time under 2.6rc2. Touch pad works after xsetup. USB mouse never got working. My laptop seems choppy and sluggish. With my normal boot code the extensions don't load. They should be the 4096 type. I updated them last night.
Running tinycore2.5 presents no problem. I have a MSI U100 with compiled wireless driver.

Has anyone that is having issues tried using 2.5 with the 2.6 kernel? That would help narrow down if it is the kernel image itself as we have tried the opposite.

I tested the 2.6rc2 bzImage with 2.5. I still get AE_NO_ACPI_ unable to load the System Description tables error. Also a PNP bios dev node error while booting.
Extensions in tce seem to load. I can.t get wireless to work.( rtl8187se works with 2.5)
USB mouse moves very erratically. Touch pad works.
cpufreq gives cpu unknown or wrong cpu. Conky shows 0 degrees for cpu.
