Well, basically, all released kernels fit your description. It's not
like Linus, and a few hundreds of the kernel developers, are going to
release a version, after a few weeks of intensive testing, which doesn't
work. You could be sure that all of them love multitasking, and
try 2.6.38. Works pretty fine on 2 machines and no problems with the sound
and hd load.
You can always select from which kernel to boot. In the worst case, you
will return back to the old version

1. Do you intend to configure the kernel by yourself or just install it and
boot?
2. I use 2.6.38 on gentoo without problems for a couple of months already
on 2 machines. It also has gentoo patches.
3. Which requirements are important to you?

For upstream kernels, your best shot is to try one of the stable
kernels. I.e: those that have 4 numbers version (2.6.x.y)
[or 3 numbers
Thanks for your answers.
Some of you asked what my requirements are. Well, it's pretty simple. I
want my desktop computer to work. I want to keep my mind on the things
I'm doing with my computer, and not on why this or that happened
unexpectedly.
I would also love it to be multitasking.

consider patching the existing kernel for those two problems, hoping
