This all sounds very familiar.  You might be talking about my desktop
machine (1.7GHz Athlon, VIA chipset).  Can you send the output of

lspci -vvv

just out of interest?  I've been using 2.5.69 with no big troubles
(unless you call fdisk formatting the wrong partition big troubles:)
for a while now, so I think if you're careful (i.e. make backups:)
then you should be OK with 2.5.75 I think.  Might be worth looking
over the TODO list for that version...

Nope.  Crashes my desktop box if I even try it.  I'm half-persuaded
it's an incompatibility between the software and the VIA chipset, and
I'm sure that some developer isn't cleaning up after himself.
