2.6.18 is already at rc2 and its release is imminent. 2.6.17 is already
at 2.6.17.7, which actually fixed quite a few bugs if the diff is
anything to go by

http://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?file=%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fv2.6%2Fincr%2Fpatch-2.6.17.6-7.bz2

The kernel might have something to do with it. I set up my Palm Z22
around the time of kernel 2.6.16.5 IIRC.
