compiler used

gcc version 2.95.2

It seems to blow up when I'm doing something which probably wants lots of memory, ie running X and opening up several mozilla windows (though it still crashes while just running X, Enlightenment, and w3m in an Eterm...but it does take a little longer, though still < 30 min.).

I went back to 2.2.18 and the crashing stopped. I am using UDMA66 on one of my drives, no DMA on the other two.

I haven't tried a non-Athlon optimised kernel, nor one with as few options as possible; hopefully I will get the chance to do this soon.
