Hi Paul,
You might want to try 2.4.19-ac4, the latest -ac revision to the stable kernel. I've run this for a couple of months now with one single incident -- on playing a lot of divx files with mplayer, the machine ran out of memory and started swapping feverishly. The system froze for a minute and then let up. Some mm issue. I'm running a DVD player and burner, a 160GB drive on a x69 Promise card and mount external drives through NFS and Samba, on ext3, Intel chipsets, firewire stuff -- as stable as 2.4.16 with more features. I've been working with 20GB files with no problems. I should say this is not my web and file server; that is still running 2.4.16, as it doesn't need the new features.
The most recent -ac kernels are likely fine too, but there appear to be some residual ide and ide-scsi issues (could be minor) and Andre is off fishing.
Cheers, Peter
