2.6.14.4 has been running stable for 4 days. For the long term, I'll
probably migrate the box to 2.6 and leave it there.

I booted 2.4.32 with the aic7xxx patch you pointed me at last week. It's
been up for a few hours. I'll let it run for at least a week or two and
will report back positive or negative results. After that, I'll try
2.4.32 with nosmp and acpi=off.
