Its an old machine running a very old and unsupported version of Linux.
How frequent are these crashes? Once in while? every reboot?

As far as I remember, back in the day the bnx drivers was somewhat
short tempered - that of-course, assuming that your old hardware isn't
failing (E.g. mother board, memory, etc)

The only way to be sure it's not a hardware related issue is to:
1. Run memtest.
2. Switch to a supported OS such as CentOS 5.8.
