is the Oops systematic ? (every time you do the upgrade), or sporadic ? in the 
second case you might have a hardware problem. possibly memory. Try checking 
it with memtest86+ (apt-get install memtest86+)

If it is systematic, as you are running an older kernel there is probably no 
point in sending this in as a kernel problem. Upgrading is your best bet.

What you could do on a short notice is change the kernel you use from the 
generic one to one of the specific kernels for your processor.

Etch has these other two kernel :

linux-image-2.6.12-10-em64t-p4
linux-image-2.6.12-10-amd64-k8 

the first one runs best on Intel, the other one on AMD.

Cheers,

Ernest.
