All kernels after version 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 get my computer crashing sooner or later, after reboot with a later kernel version. With 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5, all works fine.
The kernels I've tried after this one, is:
kernel-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5, kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 and kernel-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5, and all of them crashes after some minutes or hours or after a few days, at least.
What I've noticed, is that it may have something to do with the network. I've three network cards on the system, and I think the crash problem can has to do with eth2. There are two modules related to the network cards that are loaded, e100 and 3c59x. I'm not 100% sure which of them are serving two cards, but I think it is the last one, 3c59x.
Have you made some test disabling those network modules? Still crashing?
This computer acts as a server, so I cannot do that. However, this bug sometimes occures right after I mount Windows share, and this computer is communicating over eth2, e.g. 'mount -t cifs //10.0.2.20/tmp /mnt'.
