well no, as it happens, I have crashes with every 2.2 kernel so far. longest uptime has been 27 days. I put it down to dodgy disks in the quantums but... Most commen cause of the crash is tar (backup script) and e2fs error

I don't know... but I ran the box in single cpu mode for a while and it crashed faster (ie lower uptimes)

yeah it logged the oops but running ksymoops over it brings up garbage...

Ok.. detailed?? here we go
Mobo Asus PIIB-DS dual PII-266 (there arn't any dodgy PII's with bugs floating around are there??) apart from the onboard adaptec there is the diamond fireport uses the SYM53c875-J driver
if you want anything more than that.. I can include a dmesg output??
