Hi!
I've got the same problem with a VIA Epia SN-1800, Gentoo and glibc-2.6.1. First I had crashes every day, but these came from madwifi-ng. Now with vanilla-2.6.25.6 and no modules it's crashing about every 3 weeks with no log I can provide. I have a serial console connected to it, but I have no other device running 24h to collect the crash. I tried glibc-2.7, but with this powerdns-resolver isn't working any more, and I don't think the problems are gone (only one crash so far). It's not easy to downgrade glibc on gentoo, but I could try vanilla-glibc-2.5 if this would help. I have no big crontab, only a script with rotates logs and makewhatis.
Where can I find 'crashme'? Is it a tool I can download?
It's a small home-server carrying my mails and webspace, so I can do a bit testing, but I don't like large downtime :-)
