Does the 3-stable counts as well? I have our squid cache box crashing in
the same way after three weeks of uptime usually. No panic, no DDB
prompt, just silent reboot. It's P-II/233, Intel BX chipset, AHA-2940U2W
with two disks, fxp ethernet driver. Runs squid, mysql and several
virtual http servers. Actually has almost no load because of small
userbase. Softupdates enabled on all but / filesystem.
I'll try to disable softupdates completely, we'll see..
