I can't remember, are you using stock kernels from the distro or compiling
them yourself? I think you've done a bit of the latter. You're using
debian, right?

Have you checked the bug tracking system for whatever distro you're using?
I presume you have, but don't remember you specifically mentioning it.

Have you compared the kernel configs between the two kernels?

I see debian packages for 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 on 686 turned off
CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE, whatever that is. Hmm, CONFIG_BROKEN was turned
on...

Looks like lots of changes.

Have you looked at the kernel changelog to see if anything obvious pops
up?

That is strange.

libc incompatability?

And the initrd. Can you peel them apart and see if they have the same
modules? Maybe make a new initrd for 2.6.7 ( after backing up the current
one ) to see if new initrd tools installed after you installed 2.6.7 is
the cause.
