After 3 days of error-free uptime, I have reverted to the mainline 10.04 kernel, and reinstalled all 8 GB of memory. The suspected bad NIC is no longer being used. I have also eliminated fancy kernel boot options (except for nomodeset, since it was generating EDID errors in my logs). I will update this change ticket with any crashes, or, if a week has gone by without issue, I will request this bug be closed as "hardware issue"
