My uptime with 2.0.34-pre2 is approaching two weeks; the highest I was
up with 2.0.30-2.0.33 was 5 days before a mysterious freeze.
The mysterious freeze doesn't cause any oopses, so the above problem
appears unrelated.
As a datapoint, I so have PCI_OPTIMIZE and SKB_LARGE set, so it's quite
possible that those are the source of the problem. I've built a new
kernel without them in case the machine locks up again, but so far so
good with 2.0.34-pre2...
