etch is no longer supported and nor is Linux 2.6.30, so let's
concentrate on lenny and squeeze. Please test either the current kernel
version from unstable (2.6.32-9) or stable-security (2.6.26-21lenny3).

A bug in a kernel module can cause a crash even after it is removed.
While investigating this bug, please ensure that vmnet is never loaded.

The kernel will almost always log some messages when it crashes, but
these cannot be stored to a log file because the system stops. Please
use a serial console to record the messages
<http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/serial-console.txt>, or run the
capture program from a text console and photograph the on-screen
messages.
