Personally the best stability I've had lately is with 2.4.17.

I was never able to get IDE working right on my KT333 based Soyo
Dragon Ultra Platinum under 2.4.19 or later.  Swapped it for
an iWill (ALi), but "I will" try the Soyo again later because 
it's a nicer board ...  I forget whether the problems went back
to 2.4.18 or not.

Also my dual CPU pIII box (ASUS CUV4X-DLS) freezes silently after 
1-3 days uptime running a redhat style (modular) 2.4.18+ kernel.  
I reverted to a mostly monolithic 2.4.17 and have > 1 week of uptime 
... I will see sometime if a newer monolithic kernel will fly.
