Oh well, I personally have experiences of kernel freezing with 2.4 series but
only while using 'exotic' devices, such as IDE disks with USB2 interface.
Copies of large files is practically impossible in 2.4 since ages for this reason.
Add that usb-storage is an hog for CPU in 2.4 even when it was ok
(before 2.4.20 maybe). Of course 2.6 is ok for both aspects, so I don't
care so much.
