Hrmm...Ok..I will take a look. I dunno what version is in the 2.4.19
kernel. I know it's minimally broken though. What kind of crash was
it?(needed fs checking and all that?)

Hrmm..I'm using the tg3 driver that's in 2.4.19. but it is a bit broken,
and imho, could be causing some adjitation(sp?) of things under the
right circumstances.i.e. it doesn't report it's TX and RX bytes beyond
4GB. (QLA2300 from 5.38.9 is nearly 1MB when I look at LSMOD!!!)
We were in fact, using 6.0b27 during our uptime test, with no issues
regarding crashing, which again makes me think it's the QLA driver, but
I don't have much to go on, so I'm hunting down every possible avenue I
can. :)
