I had the exact same problem (but much different hardware) with the 2.5.6-pre3 kernel. See:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=101548222601049&w=2
It seemed to be preemptive related, but since successive kernels in the 2.5 series worked, I figured they'd fixed things. Now you crash in 2.4 without preempt... Not being a programmer, I'd try CONFIG_SMP=n just to change the playing field (and then prod Alexander Viro ;-)
