I don't know about the problem, but I have a Tyan Thunder K8S Pro S2882
with 2G of RAM and four WD SATA drives. It has been rock solid for a
few months now (currently 48 days uptime on a 2.6.6 kernel). It is used
as a database server, but admittedly it has not been heavily stressed
for most of that time.
Cheers,
Andrew.
