I have to chime in also, 2.0.33 seems like it has some bad problem(s). I
have on average a mysterious crash, panic or oops, "D" state in net apps
every day or so. At first I though it might be hardware related so I
switched from a 486-133 to a Pentium-133 but the same types of problems
persist (and I have ran diagnostics on both systems and can find no real
hardware problem). These same systems ran 2.0.29 with unbounded uptimes
(I had been using the 486-133 for well over a year as a 24/7 server).
Here are a few examples from the logs of last few weeks (of the ones that
leave messages - I have had several that take out ext2 fs also):

(Geez, I guess I had a few issues).
I also got several of these:
kernel: Whee.. inode changed from under us. Tell Linus
And also some fatal scrolling messages about "page already on freelist"
(or something close to that).
My hardware (currently) is a Micron P-133 with Micronics MB and 64MB EDO
Ram and a Quantum 3GB IDE, PCI NE2000, DEC Tulip and WD8013 NICs (cable
modem, 100 and 10Mbps LAN).
The machine isn't too busy usually, but does do a fair bit of IP masq/net
activity. Its on a UPS and has good cooling.
I am running RH 4.2+updates with stock 2.0.33. More details available
upon request.
