I think that the problem, in my case, was some X interactions. This because 
excluding step by step every possible source of  problems (e.g. daemons like 
named etc) i have found that without X, using internet with, for example, 
ftp, cvs, and so on, none bug appeared.
To say the true i haven't still stressed a lot the machine after the SCSI  
drive migration, but now i haven't found bugs during startup.

Thinking better i had problems during startup! But this was an hardware 
problem : when in my Cyberstorm was broken  the PPC MPU. 
The symptoms was that 68000 side was perfectly working but in the PPC 
side during Linux init the machine crashed. In the beginning only sometimes
but at the end everytime. I hope this is not your case.

Good Luck!
