Using the following:

Hardware:

ASUS P/I-P65UP5 and C-P55T2D CPU Card/MB
(2) 200 MHz Intel MMX CPU's
128 MB RAM
(128 MB Swap)
512K Pipeline cache
Buslogic BT-958
Micropolis 9GB SCSI-3
Archive DAT SCSI TBU
IBM SCSI CDROM
Tulip 21140 Fast Ethernet (@100)
ATI Mach64 VGA

System Software:

Kernel 2.2.1
Base Linux - SuSE 5.3
modutils 2.1.121
net-tools-1.49
tulip.c v.90

Ran the suggested crash test below for one hour - NO oopses.

Did get "Warning: dev (03:xx) tty>count(0) != #fd's (1) in
do_tty_hangup", where xx was 01,04,02,03,06, etc.
