No, but I've been researching upgrading the kernel. Sadly I see nothing

news about this kernel? Is it just a case of
<sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.20-16-386>

Maybe there are just a few people having problems and most people are OK
with this kernel. Any comments?

The kernel runs fine on my laptop, but I (and a lot of others) have
problems with my desktop (ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard with intel
ICH5R chipset). The problem seems to be caused by having both PATA and
SATA disks with the ata_piix kernel module. Some days ago, there was an
kernel update that fixes the problem for me.

You can install the new kernel image without removing the old one. If it
doesn't work, you can make the old kernel the default in grub and try
again when an update is available. That is what I did.
