This is probably of little help in the context, but I have installed Fedora 13, kernel 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 on my old let's note Panasonic CF-W2 (i855 int(h)el(l) GPU).
This distribution installed without a glitch (live CD). It is perfectly stable. None of the installation and stability problem I had encountered with Ubuntu 10.04 has affected me (on this machine + this with type of chipset).
