Actually, I have been able to demonstrate silent reboots since late 2.2.6, and subsequently. I didn't speak up because I assumed it was a local driver problem with a custom driver. The reboots are infrequent, but appear to occur most commonly with high network load, and more commonly with RIP being the source of the load. The reboot is completely silent; no console logs, no panic message, nothing -- except "/ was not unmounted cleanly" in the dmesg after the event. FWIW.
