after upgrade backups cause machine crash

A year ago, I put testing-sarge on a new server. Woody was just too old. All the security updates done over the last year were done with just the security update line in sources.list. Everything was working fine including doing backups. Machine was backed up to an unpartitioned USB external hard drive at /dev/sdb with a tar command (similar to backing up to tape).
This January, I upgraded to stable-sarge. I didn't use aptitude dist-upgrade as I was going from the old testing-sarge to stable-sarge. In January this year, I replaced the commented out testing lines from the original install with uncommented sarge lines in sources.list, left the security one in, did an aptitude update followed by an aptitude upgrade. I then installed the 2.6.8-2-686-smp kernel-image from stable-Sarge.
That kernel-image as well as the original testing-sarge one (2.6.8-1-686-smp) are both crashing when doing the backups. The backup may run for anywhere from 25 minutes to an hour before the machine crashes. Different USB harddrives have been tried with no change in outcome.
Any help diagnosing this problem and resolving it would be most appreciated. Some info appears below. Other info can be provided if needed.
Thanks in advance,
Karen
