I updated my bios to the latest for my motherboard, and that didn't change anything.

Then I found this post: http://www.latenightpc.com/blog/archives/2006/11/23/system-lockup-with-my-new-asus-m2npv-vm-linux-box/#more-253

I found the same entry in my kern.log :

Jul 6 08:02:31 vinge kernel: [ 26.289985] Checking aperture...
Jul 6 08:02:31 vinge kernel: [ 26.289989] CPU 0: aperture @ e400000000 size 32 MB
Jul 6 08:02:31 vinge kernel: [ 26.289991] Aperture too small (32 MB)

I followed his steps more or less, I have a newer BIOS than he documents
I had to enable a feature, increase the size of the frame buffer to 256MB ( I just picked the biggest size) then disable the feature again.

Since then my kern.log has the same entry, but hasn't crashed. It's been over a week where it would crash inside about 3 days before.
