Hello dear Sirs,

I am running 2.1 for a year or so . . .
The latest stable kernel on my machine was 2.1.56 . . .

After that one, I am running 2.1.89, 90,91, and 92
Sorry, I am afraid to patch up to 2.1.95 right now.

My problem seem to be:

The system runs just fine, a day or two.
The load is about 0.01 all the time, the network traffic is low (about 1G
per day)

I have two machines, both are running with the same effect. system is just
frozen after some time . . .

The configurations are:
1) Pentium 166 RAM 64 HDD 6,4 IDE IBM DHEA
MB Asus tp4n
S3 2Mb video, no X.
NE2000 ISA
No other cards.

2) All the same, but tomato motherboard and AMD K6 pr120 CPU.

I will be happy if I could help with more information on the software and
hardware I am running . . . maybe this will help to debug the problem?

If you'll say that 2.1.95 should be installed on my machines, I will just
install it in 5 mins :-)

Thank you.
