Matthias,

just a shot in the dark, but I bet keying "res" ENTER (w/o the quotes)
in while your system seems to be dead will give you 'back' (well, kind
of) your system. Can you try that the next time, please?

If that works (reboots your system) we can see if you're able to get a
core dump out of your box.
