More on this. I ran up 2.1.8 again, without X this time. After about 10 minutes the machine died with a constant stream of "Aiee, scheduling in interrupt" messages. A PPP session was active at this stage, if that's likely to be significant, and PPP was a module (which I loaded with modules-2.1.8's insmod).
I hit the reset button and let the machine start again. This time, though, it locked solid while running fsck (obviously, the previous sudden reboot had left all the filesystems dirty). Again, the hard disk LED was on. I gave up and went back to 2.1.7.
At the moment I'm compiling up 2.1.8 but with drivers/block from 2.1.7, in hopes that this will make things better. I haven't tried 2.1.9, but I _have_ looked at the patch, and it doesn't look like there's anything much in there that's likely to help. I might give it a go later though.
