Success! It turns out I actually had both 2.6.16 AND 2.6.17 installed, but GRUB was only pointing to 2.6.16. I added an entry for the 2.6.17-2 kernel, add now it boots up with hardly a hesitation. I did have to reinstall the madwifi modules, but everything now seems to be running properly.
Thanks!! Tyle
