Allow me to say that I cannot agree with you.  I have two machines that get
rebooted only when the power (and the UPS) fail.  Very classic configuration
also:

3.0-R: Name/mail server for gr.eu.org, cy.eu.org, home.eu.org, thirio.irc.gr
secondary for eu.org.  This is a:

CPU: Pentium II (quarter-micron) (360.54-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x652  Stepping=2
  Features=0x183f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PA
T,PSE36,MMX,<b24>>


3.1-R: (now 3.2-R) My desktop is a:

CPU: Pentium/P54C (99.47-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x526  Stepping=6
  Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8>

The only reboots they had was only when the UPS died (and when *I* typed
reboot).  Either check your HW or your kernel config.
