:me-too :-)

: I'm running 3.1-RELEASE on a 486 with 16 MB of RAM, and this
:machine has been falling over regularly. Up until now I have suspected
:the local electricity, but it had rebooted this morning, even though

Setup a serial console and monitor it so you can see the panic message.
Or, better, configure the kernel to drop into DDB when it panics so you
