The kernel.org folks released 2.6.24 today (or at least recently). So, I did some testing with this kernel on my Everex StepNote SA2053T (not an Averatec - that was a typo in the previous comment I left earlier today). Results:

1) The sdhci problem still occurs (modprobe -r sdhci causes the system to hang completely; only way out is to hold down the power switch and force a reboot). I have sdhci blacklisted so that I can boot, but standard Ubuntu live CDs probably do try to load it (at least they used to as of Feisty Faun). I don't think there is a way to tell the boot loader to avoid loading that module, is there?

2) The 8139too module works fine on my Everex StepNote laptop if compiled with CONFIG_8139TOO_PIO=y -- I have this in my config file by default. When I changed my config file to using the (I think default?) MMIO setting instead of PIO, the 8139 module hung the boot process (hard reboot necessary).

So, I don't think anything has changed, in relation to this bug, between the 2.6.20 and 2.6.24 kernels from kernel.org.
