I've tried almost > all, including 2.3.x and 2.5.x, but they simple don't work. After The IDE support for your chipset is known to have various quirks on 2.4.18 and below. I don't follow 2.2 kernels so I've no advice for them. For 2.4 kernels please try at least 2.4.19-pre7 or 2.4.19-pre3-ac1. Trying 2.3.x kernels seems a waste of time (unless you points to the precise patch that brings instabilily to your system) and 2.5.x is audacious to say the least. Looking at the last kernel messages (/var/log/message) before your crashes might help locate the problem's origin. For guidelines on bug reporting, please take a look at the "REPORTING-BUGS" file at the root of your kernel source tree. LB.
