I doubt it's the zaptel drivers. I have an ASUS motherboard(Athlon 2.4g 512meg ram 500 mhz front side bus) using it's VIA SATA to mirror two SATA drives, two TDM400P cards, scsi tape backup, running Suse 9.0 & EXT3 across the board except SWAP.
One thing we have noticed here at LCR is memory speed on the new motherboards gets set to auto detect in bios and that can cause all kinds of problems. Resetting the bios to hard set the memory speed clears up alot of these random crashes.
