I am experiencing the same crashes on my new machine (ATA100 IDE drive): they appeared when I noticed that I had forgotten to use soft-updates. After I have turned them on, I experienced the first crash in 15 minutes. Then I get one every two days, when doing heavy disk IOs. I got a crash 10 minutes ago when the machine was unattended though (and not doing important disk IOs), and could see a "panic" message on the console. Unfortunately, I hadn't enough free space in /var/crash to save the kernel. Do you people use soft-updates? From my experience on this problem, I assume that either soft-updates or the ATA driver may be causing those spontanous reboots.
