I'm running 2.1.5 on a 6x86/P166+ with a 2940UW and two SCSI drives Mine rebooted every 1-6 days; it had a bad motherboard and/or processor Another of its symptoms was the fact that make world would either fail or the system would crash, I once had a kernel compile fail as well I replaced my board and processor and everything was fine > My system is a P6-200 with an Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI-III controller, 128 Megs > of EDO mem, and 256 Megs of swap that has been evenly split between two > SCSI-III drives.
