I have similar problems as Martin above. After I switched to edgy beta, none of the 2.6.17 kernels worked for me (including -10). Kernel panic each time, with things like pci_write and some 'acpi read' stuff at the end. I'm using amd athlon 2500, abit kv7 motherboard, ati 9500 2.6.15-27-k7 works fine for me (shutdown is not complete though, worked fine with some older 2.6.15 kernels in dapper)
