[0]However, in the seven days since upgrading to 2.1.0, the same hardware
[0]has experienced an average of 10 unexpected reboots, or just over
[0]one a day.  The systems with more load (news vs no news) crash more often.

[1]   A couple of observations... If you've had "only" 10 unexpected reboots
[1]across 6 machines and that it happens  more often on heavy-load machines,
[1]does this suggest that some of the machines aren't crashing at all?

Uh, 10 crashes per machine, so 60 crashes (average) in one week.  As
of today, the number of crashes is approaching the 80s.   


[1]   Do you use a screensaver on your machines?

No.   To save the screens, we use this thing called "a monitor power switch".


These are *very* stock systems where the operating system is concerned.
Kernels have been recompiled to eliminate drivers not in use, but that is
it.  Again, X is not in use.   C-news, inn, smail and a few other odds and
ends are the applications that are present.  Some have network boards
and drivers loaded, but are not connected to an active network.
