How long as pre15 been out to be rocksolid :P
I've found that I experience crashes on two of our servers quite frequently
since upgrading from the 2.0.33pre I was running before the pre36 series.
I haven't had time to get a 36pre16 up and running yet though. The crashes
are similar to yours. Blank screen, no oops, no response.

Of my systems one is a P120/asus with ncr53c8xx and hp100vg. The other is a
recent P-II/asus with eide, hp100vg. But I _think_ the P-II crashes as
a result of the first machine crashing and watchdog for some reason
giving the P-II a reboot. I think the problem might be related in the way
mounted NFS filesystems from unresponsive NFS servers behave (eating up too
much cpu?).

Alan is doing a great job indeed.
