Even though eliminating initrd made kernel to boot, under heavy I/O and memory use it randomly corrupts the filesystem, so we are back to square one.

That sounds less stable than mine. Currently my ss20 has been up for about 60 hours with 2.6.12 and survived a couple kernel recompiles (I did a 'make clean; make all' overnight to verify). The only problem I've seen is when the scsi driver goes nuts and requires a power cycle to recover, which seems to happen more frequently when the disk cache is cold, but I haven't noticed any actual corruption recently.

Here's my current configuration:
  hypersparc 150MHz, 512K cache
  192MB ram (no highmem)
  ext2/ext3 partitions
  kernel 2.6.12 compiled with gcc 3.3.4

My suspicion is that highmem may cause problems. I'll try rearranging the ram this weekend and see if I can make an initrd fail.
