Unfortunately enough, I can't blame hardware this time... This behaviour is also encountered on various double-processor P-II/III machines. I do have a whole lotta bug reports about my distribution being unstable. I was not able to reproduce those bugs (machine eating all the available memory, then refusing to spawn processes, then killing init and stopping) until I did exchange my 2 x PPro motherboard with 2 x Xeon one. Now I hit the bug several times a week... Further investigation did show that _ALL_ of the a.m. bug reports were from P-II/III machines...
Unfortunately enough, I can't try any newer kernel (we do run 2.2.10-ac10 here) 'coz no one of 2.3 boots and all after 2.2.10 oops in various places (the last oops with 2.2.14pre8 has been sent today).
BTW, is the stable kernel > 2.2.0 supposed to appear at all? Which does build outta the box with full options enabled? And which does not contain unresolved symbols in modules? And which does really work? The last stable kernel which I did see was 2.1.125... It still runs on one of our primary NS'es with several thousands zones:
