Your problem is unusual. If it were a common experience Linux would not be
popular. Look for a cause that is particular to your setup. Post to the
c.o.l.* groups. Even the alpha series kernels (1.3.*) are usually robust.
If there is a problem with a release it is replaced (at the ftp sites)
within a day, maybe two.
