dear all,

I'm using a Vortexbox appliance wit 2TB bought in March. Since I did the upgrade to vortexbox 1.3 and installed twonkey media and subsonic (over the http interface), the vortexbox seems to hang itself after a couple of minutes.

The harddisk LED is on, I hear HD sounds and the system information page of the web interface shows 99% memory use and 99% mem use for cache and applications. I only could stop the vortexbox by pressing the powerbutton for 7 seconds (or so). (I had a similar problem once  a couple of weeks earlier but that was "fixed" rebboting after some reboots. At that time I installed and ran squeezebox player on my PC.)

Now I deleted twonkey and subsonic, no difference.

I then connected a screen to the vortexbox appl and followed the screen starting up and shutting down.

The only thing looking "strange" was that shutting down DAAP Server failed while shutting down the vortexbox.

Does anybody have an idea about the problem and a possible solution?

many thanks and best,

Claus
