@Jens: It took a very long time, but even with that kernel I got the black screen, blinking-caps-lock freeze on my T42p.

It SEEMS to only happen on this kernel when I leave the machine on long enough for the screensaver to kick in - i.e., left it on overnight, came to it in the morning all frozen.

The _only thing_ that keeps this machine stable is the MadWiFi (ath_pci) driver. This driver works just fine with every network I try it on, but it is a pain to have to recompile/re-insert the mod every time there is a kernel upgrade. I've not once crashed when using that; I was trying the new kernel out just to see if there was an easier way.
