I've used kernal 2.4.x on machines from a P166 to an AMD450..
I have never had them crash even once, not any of them.
Are you compiling custom kernels to match your hardware?
By the way, I use Slackware, and usually do not use modules, I compile the
stuff I need into the kernel (just the way I have always done it).
Just my 2 cents .. :)
