The two most likely culprits are the memory > and the BIOS settings. This is a follow-up to a problem I was having (my 2.2.8-RELEASE system was crashing hard within a few hours of start-up). I set the BIOS to "BIOS default", restarted, and the system has been running fine ever since (6 days now; hope I'm not jinxing it by sending this message). Several memory- and cache-related settings are different in BIOS default than they were before. I don't know how the old settings were determined; the machine came that way. Anyway, if anyone needs more details about the differences between the original settings and the default settings, let me know. And thanks for your help!
