Next time maybe you could try to make your included selection a *lot*
smaller, you've repeated the same thing over and over and it's not
necessary.
These kinds of problems generally come from unstable hardware. Poor
SCSI cabling and memory comes to mind. Check the fan on your cpu. Try
moving the memory around, possibly swaping with another machine if you
can. Remove any boards that you don't need to run the OS and see if
that helps. If it does put them back in one at a time until the system
starts crashing again.
Try and upgrade to 2.0.23 making sure you read all the notes about
running the new kernel.
Keep a log file in a book and jot down what was running at the time
this happened.
Also it's no use reporting these kinds of problems unless you list the
hardware that it is running on. It makes a difference.
Cheers and good luck.
