Extremely puzzling. I too looked over the changelogs between 2.6.17.6 and
2.6.17.13 and found no smoking gun.  The only thing that I could come up
with was a possible ACPI regression. Does booting with acpi=off make
any difference ?

If there's a possibility of serial console, grabbing the dmesg from
working & crashing kernel would be useful for comparison purposes
as that may yield some clues.
