Personally, a vr0 (VIA Rhine) panics my home machine as soon
as any major net traffic occurs -- memory pool corruption, I
believe. Jason has looked at it a bit, but so far it's still
very unreliable for me.
If anyone has a vr0 that works great, please contact me
privately. I'd be interested to try out your working kernels
etc. to try to figure out why it's broken for me.
