Compiled kernel 2.2.15pre19 without usb support.
According to my first tests the system is more stable now.
I have not encountered a hard freeze yet, though running compiles which
usually trigger one for certain.

Test are continuing, though.

The first diagostic of the problem is, that it is a usb problem.
Even when no usb device is used. So who is the person we have to
report this bug to? Or is everybody relevant reading this list anyhow?
