Praedor's problems must be system related. Admittedly, I'm not running any peripherals that could cause problems.
With a stock 9.0 install, kernels 2.4.19-16mdk, 2.4.-19-24mdk, kernel.org vanilla 2.4.20 (with or without a preemptive patch), and the cooker 2.4.21.-0.pre4.5mdk (normal i586, or recompiled for athlon-xp cpus) work fine. My hardware is Abit KX7-333, and an MSI KT3- Ultra 2 (both have the via KT333 chipset, and both have Athlon XP 1700Mhz T-bred B cpus).
