My machine runs mostly stable with all of Linux 2.4.18 + acpi-20020517 Linux 2.4.19 + acpi-20020821 Linux 2.4.20 + acpi-20030228 and Linux 2.4.21-pre5 + acpi-20030228 (These are the kernels that I still have installed.) However, I had problems with KDE 3.1 and Linux 2.4.20 + acpi-20021212 and Linux 2.4.21-pre4 + acpi-20030123 The KDE startup would hang during the "initializing devices" phase; often the machine would freeze, and after rebooting I had files with invalid names on my ext3 partitions (files with \0 in the file name). Therefore, I had to go back to Linux 2.4.19 + acpi-20020821 to use KDE 3.1 until I found out that the problems are gone with acpi-20030228. (KDE 2.2 did always work without any problems.) BTW, I am using Debian "sid" (aka unstable).
