Just to put it right, 2.6.18 (debian etch) is the last kerlenl, which survives on our mildly loaded servers more than a few hours. All kernel starting from 2.6.20 have locked up on our servers.
And yes, it's shame that such a kernel has made it into a LTS. Even more bothering is the way, developers cope with this problem: No reaction :(
