Hi, on my machine (build on the 4.1 sources) there was an reboot on different times. The machine hangs on an UPS, so i searched a while and discovered an incompatible (?) 3com 3c509. I placed another revision in the machine and the reboots stopped. The error occured not on a regular base and started about 4 weeks after installing the machine and with NO updates. A cvsup doesnt helped either, so i tried different hardware.
