Thanks for the hints. Especially the console 10 hint was useful.
One problem with console 10 is, that the Kernel crashes became more unlikely in console 10 compared with crashes when using the X11 display. In X11 the Kernel often crashed, if I unplugged the unused USB DVB device. In console 10 I had to use the device heavily (recording a TV show), until the Kernel crashed reliable every-time I unplugged the USB device.
Well, that also hints to the problem being related to something the desktop does.
I found, that my mainboard has a serial port, but it's not connected to the front or back panel and so currently useless.
Ah, same here; but I connected a cable to it and have it available. I reused an old connector I had from a much older box, but I had to add wires to it, it was too short for this board and box. This port is the most reliable method for obtaining kernel messages during a crash, because it is very low level and doesn't need divers or layers that may already have crashed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
