I only happened to notice it with -stable, prior to that the machine had been running 2.1-release without tagged-queueing. It's been running the same hardware since I received the 2.0.5 CD. However, I dismantled it this evening and the "stray irq 7" and spontaneous reboot problems went away as soon as I replaced the EtherLink III with a cruddy 8-bit WD8003-EBT. Given that the 3Com card was working fine until just recently (within the last week or so), I suspect that some software change has invited the instability :-( michael
