Marcel, I had a server doing just that (PIII-733, 768MB RAM, Tekram SCSI with 2 drives, Intel 440BX, 4.2-STABLE with softupdates). What "fixed" it was to recompile the kernel, taking out SMB and I2C. I later upgraded it to 4.5-STABLE, and it still runs fine. Unfortunately, I can't experiment with the server to see if in actual fact it was the SMB and I2C components that were the culprits, so I don't know for sure what caused the spontaneous and frequent reboots. -- Juha Take off every sig!
