The VM has been in a very bad shape in both the 2.2 and 2.4 series,
and Alan is fighting hard to get 2.2 into an acceptable shape. Since
I'm running the 2.4 series I can't say for sure exactly how the latest
2.2.17preX kernels behave, but I'm pretty sure things have improved a
lot in this regard since 2.2.17pre6. I recommend that you try the
latest 2.2.17preX kernel, where X is currently 19. The final 2.2.17
should be released soon as well.
