if you are bound to 2.6.8 use a more stable fs like ext{2,3},
reiserfs is getting better, but not recommended for rock solid.
regarding the backports, there is an an semi-official one
-- snipp from a mail by horms to debian-kernel
I think I need to write a canned response for 2.6.8 bugs:
As upstream kernel development moves at a rapid pace its virtually
impossible to backport other than trivial fixes. Without spending
a lot of time investingating your problem, would it be possible
to see if the 2.6.12 backport to sarge, a significantly newer kernel,
helps your immediate problem.
