debian-user probably isn't going to be able to help you much with
this; the linux-kernel mailing list is a better place to ask. In
particular, I suspect the linux-kernel mailing list is a better place
to ask once you've isolated the problem and come up with a patch to
fix it.
Do you have some particular reason to want to be running prerelease
software? If not, I'd stick with a "normal" kernel; 2.4.19 has been
pretty good to me, 2.4.20 has a known problem with certain cases of
ext3 filesystems but otherwise apparently is also fine besides this.
