Yes !!! > This is while in X, and didn't seem to happen with the 2.2.5-RELEASE. > Perhaps there's something in the X code (Matrox Millenium II card) > that's causing this spontaneous reboot... Yes exactly. Always in X and very often related to netscape. After playing around with the scsi-subsystem (termination, order of devices...) the crashes happend not as frequent but they still happend. Then i changed the PCI-SLOT-IRQ assignment for my graphics-card in BIOS from "Auto" to "NA". No crash so far (2 weeks).
