That might not change your kernel for all I know :-) I prefer to run sarge
+ selected sid packages (including kernel-package and kernel-tree-2.6.10).

I always use that, so I doubt it is a factor. It will reboot your machine
within a bit less than 30s if the watchdog daemon gets stuck. Make *damn
sure* that it is set to quite a high privilege level...

It is quite weird that a ifdown+up made it work again, come to think of it.
ifdown+ifup do not reload modules. But it would drop all automatic routes,
and rerun a few scripts, which could reset firewalls, arp tables, etc.
It may reset something on the kernel too when setting the interface
addresses, but I am not sure about that.
Are you using DHCP (client) on the machines that hung?
