I think I may have the same problem with Intrepid. I get random lockups within about 20 minutes using Ubuntu or Kubuntu 8.10. I can still SSH in to the box and don't see any errors in the logs. I just swapped out my Radeon 8500 for an ancient ATI Rage 128 and I've gotten a good 2.5 hours of uptime, which led me to suspect the driver and to this bug.

AMD Athlon XP 2000+

WDC WD2500JB, ATA Hard drive
SONY DVD RW DRU-720A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM
SONY CD-RW CRX320E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM

I was going to try fglrx and see if it makes a difference.
