I've been using 2.6.9-ac6 from kernel org for the past three months with 
rock solid stability. The -ac series, maintained by Alan Cox, is focused 
on adding stability and bugfixes to the vanilla kernel.  Linus 
steadfastly refuses to follow reasonable steps to produce a consistently 
stable kernel release.
