Hi Punky, After posting this question the other day I ended up just running an apt-get from my list of favourite sources for the new 2.6.23 kernel and it appears to have gone on like a dream, no apparent hanging or bugs just yet, the box appears to be running very nicely, I've not seen any hanging or problems like that.
I am running an ALIX 3.c2 with the latest BIOS update, I think it has a workaround enabled for the mfgpt on the BIOS from what I can remember.
