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).
