The (ksymoops processed-) oopses may help. You can give a try at the
sym53c8xx driver. It performs well here:
- 53c875 adapter + BX + 2.4.3/2.4.7-ac11/2.4.8 + raid1 (small server)
- 53c810 + VP3 + 2.4.2 (instant reboot at startup with 2.4.8, I guess I
fscked some option).

Try and send specific bug-reports to the maintainers.
l-k archives may give you some light on issues with VIA chipsets.

I'm not convinced that gaining stability on a VIA + G400 + X + smp
combo is an easy task anyway.
