Aww, it died again, lockup (hard - caps lock light on keyboard doesn't react when the button is pressed) and cold boot required to get it up again. That's what I deserve for getting my hopes up.
Tried 2.2 again thinking it might work now with the fixed BIOS settings but no, still getting the "Keyboard: Timeout - AT keyboard not present?" and "hda: lost interrupt" messages. So I can't even boot 2.2 and I have no clue what to try next. Instead, I'll concentrate on trying to get it stable on 2.4. I've read that the random hard lockups can be caused by the network card I'm using (built in Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 (PILA8470B)) and are now trying the e100 driver that Intel released for the card instead of the driver that comes with the kernel (by Donald Becker). The Intel driver is reported to have fixed similar problems for other people. We'll see what it can do for me.
Other suggestions on what I could try to find the cause of the lockups are much appreciated.
Thanks, Johan
