Well, research of Nils did point to something.
But no, as far as I know, there is no clear case if it's user or
kernel space.
It's at least clear that a stable etch distribution cannot run on
the 2.6. kernel, while it can run at the 2.4 kernel, and
therefore we suspect a kernel problem :-).

Great!
The more of these test, the easier it will be to point out the
problem.
