Can you try to revert these patches from 2.6.17: http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=a7b862f663d81858531dfccc0537bc9d8a2a4121 http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=75cf7456dd87335f574dcd53c4ae616a2ad71a11 Alternatively, you may try 2.6.16.17 - if it breaks in the same way, and 2.6.16.16 works, this is most likely that VIA IRQ problem (and reverting the same patches from 2.6.16.17 should fix it).
