My most important question is whether this is almost certainly a hardware problem or whether there are known problems with this kernel on this type of hardware and 4GB (system is rock-solid on 2GB).
Any ideas?

Try running with just the new memory installed to see it you still have problems.
I already got that advice and I'll try it if I get near the machine next week. Before doing lots of experiments, not making friends as the machine is heavily used continuously, I'd like to see some confirmation that current 2.6 kernels are generally robust on dual AthlonMP with 4GB. I've seen some messages in various forums (kernel and Beowulf lists) claiming problems with Tyan boards and 4GB, but these messages were all very old, so I have no clue whether they are still relevant and there were no clear answers.
