And what about earlier kernels? I have just found that the latest stable
kernel seems to be 2.2.6. All later ones show the freeze sooner or later.
After looking at the patch-2.2.7 I have no idea what the reason could be.
All the patches for 2.2.7 either do not apply for my setup or seem rather
unsuspecious. Interestingly 2.2.7 ran almost stable until I updated my
machines CPU from 300MHz to a 400MHz one. Strange, isn't it?
Just FYI: My hardware is a notebook computer, now 400MHz mobile Celeron,
Intel BX chipset, AGP graphics (ATI Rage LT Pro), 64MB RAM, ide HDD and CD.
