I don't know if this helps, but I saw this in the 10.2.0.4 patch notes:

"14.16 NFS Client Causes Machine To Reboot During Database Stress Testing

Under certain test conditions with the system running at about 75% CPU utilization, a system/OS reboot has been observed on Suse SLES10. An OS bug has been opened against SLES10 with Novell. The Oracle bug 6883690 contains the details and references the Novell bug (# 361920) filed for this issue." Received on Thu Oct 30 2008 - 14:36:09 CDT
