On 2.2.17 I had good luck with BP6.

EX:

[root@animal /root]# uptime
  3:17am  up 51 days, 20:17,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.04, 0.02

from /proc/pci:

Unknown mass storage controller: Triones Technologies, Inc. HPT366 IDE
Ultra
DMA/66 (rev 1).
      Medium devsel.  IRQ 5.  Master Capable.  Latency=120.  Min Gnt=8.Max
Lat=8
.
      I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401].
      I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801].
      I/O at 0xdc00 [0xdc01].
  Bus  0, device  19, function  1:

Can you post/e-mail any additional details about the lockups. I am very
curious about this. We have a huge mosix cluster in production with BP6
mobo's and have plans to upgrade to 2.4 as soon as an official stable
kernel is released.
