Guess what? No more crashes with kernel 2.4.21-15.0.3! I was afraid it was a hardware problem. Sorry for reporting something that appears to be just crappy hardware on the fritz. I guess something in the 2.4.21-15.0.3 patch made it act up. All I can think is that the device drivers that were patched in 2.4.21-15.0.2 combined with the nfs code patched in 2.4.21-15.0.3 had something to do with hanging the kernel. Thanks to everyone for the replies, sorry for raising the alarm. Sincerely, Shawn M. Jones
