I had some problems like this using 2.4.17 on a PIIX3 board (don't know the
board type). The problems disappeared after switching to 2.4.19.
Unforunately I had to change the processor and processor fan about the same
time.
I tend to believe that this problem was related to CPU temperature not to
kernel bugs. I don't have any means of measuring CPU temperature on this
board. But the old CPU certainly burnt out, because the fan was not
working too well ;-(((
