It decided to reboot itself. After it came up - I saw there were updates available. During subsequent yum update, it crashed again - same characteristic - during download, and then reboots itself a few minutes later (might be under a minute, didn't time). I have to suspect therefore there is a bug related to the nic driver that crashes it. While it may mean nothing - it did not crash at all during any of the yum groupinstalls I performed after the successful rawhide/http minimal install - those yum were done without X running. Might have just been luck too. It is using sungem driver for eth0 if it matters. I can't rule out bad hardware - I just aquired this mac (from mom, who I bought it for when it was new ...) but crashes she experienced generally seemed to be just due to lack of protected memory.
