IMO, putting a different release on this machine is NOT recommended,

getting worse? Or both? Or what?
Um, if the current release is the problem, then it will never run stably again. More to the point, it's easy to test. It's already rebooted twice this evening on 2.6.17, and I'll leave it for another 24 hours. The reboots seem to happen in chunks. Then I'll default it to the 2.4.27 kernel and see what happens. If it wasn't for the fact that I had a reproducible problem with 2.4/2.6 kernels two years ago I wouldn't be considering this step.
