Thank you for the reply. I did post several mails to the list and did not get any replies. The machine is back in storage at present as I could not afford to spend any more time on it. The details as far as I can remember without getting it out are: Proliant 5000 server fitted with quad Xenon 200Mhz processors and 1Gbyte of memory with a raid controller and 5 9.1 Scsi drives. To try and isolate the problem I removed all the drives and put a spare 9.1 drive in. As far as applications went I was using DHCP and a DNS plus xwindows/kde with vncserver on a small test network consisting of a router and a windows xp pro machine running putty and tightvnc to connect. I tried 5.4 stable 1st. With the standard kernel ie without any changes from the generic it worked fine - running for over 48 hours. Using the SMP kernel ie using the smp config with no other changes, I got random reboots after between 1/2 hr and 6 hrs. I also tried 6.0 beta via cvsup build world mergemaster etc. This gave the same results. I had to stop at that point as I ran out of time. I will have another go when I have time.
