When it locks up SysRQ doesn't work, I have tried with 2.1.130 and
it's the same type of silent and total freeze.

: I am using 2.1.126 (haven't had time to pull in latter ones yet),
: and it does not freeze on me.

I've managed to get an uptime of two days with 2.1.130, but without
torturing the kernel ;-) Any type of "heavy work", like gcc, gives
me a lock up.
