Thanks for the input.

Incredibly, what fixed this was the removal of a few linefeeds from 
panic.c.

The AMD kernel would not boot, so I changed the CPU to Pentium 4.  
That build failed to include iptables' connlimit and rebooted 3 times 
in 24 hours when the RAID array was mounted in the first of 2 Intel 
boxes.

Ran runme extra in patch-o-matic-ng-20040302 to replace connlimit and 
that also rebooted several times (on both Intel boxes).

Fearing that the panic text would scroll important information, I 
edited panic.c and removed \n from some printk lines.  VOILA stable - 
for unfathomable reasons.

Because the clock on the second Intel box drifted, the array was put 
into the first Intel box and has been stable since Sep 16 15:12.
