There seems to be something wrong with 2.4.2 smp even without usb. My abit bp6 freeze after a day or so. I have gone back to 2.4.2pre3 and this seems better. I have to run a few more days to be sure though.
I don't use USB and no devices malfunction - the machine just freeze in the middle of the night and don't respond to sysrq or pings. Resetting shows nothing in the logs.
