Ok - because that is a problem on some.

I've got a 600Mhz EPIA-M as well - thats also being rock solid for me

Checked the hardware to see if its gone flaky ?
It is heavily used here, doubles as a mediaplayer, main email server (>800 a
day) and so on. I am very sensitive to its health :-) It had a couple of
months uptime before I tried the later kernels, whereupon it would survive <
1 day, sometimes < 1 hr. On returning it to the 2.6.7 kernel it is up 5 days
already with no flakiness. So I am quite certain the problems are not coming
from physical issues or inherent heat problems.
The same problems were present in certain kernels before, a few months ago, I
can't remember if this was before -437 or after it. Whichever, -437 is
definitely perfectly stable.
