Afaik, the only diff is the cpu clock?

As far as remember, woody comes with kernel 2.4?
Unfortunately, iirc the pb you encountered is a well known _smp_ kernel bug never fixed in 2.4 but well it 2.6 :-)

> Is there another kernel I should try out?> 
First try to install a up kernel (for the A, L and N Class is must be a 64bit).
Then you would be able to upgrade to sarge and install a 2.6 kernel (may be try first a up kernel then try the smp one)

Or you could reinstall your system with a recent netinstall iso cd:
