For the 2.6.23 kernel:

Linux version 2.6.23.12-ecrins (address@hidden) (gcc version 4.2.3 20071123 
(prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-4)) #3 Thu Dec 20 16:19:41 GMT 2007
Command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet 

For the 2.6.24 kernel:

Linux version 2.6.24.3-ecrins (address@hidden) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Debia
n 4.2.3-1)) #3 Thu Mar 6 08:48:29 GMT 2008
Command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet 

So, the compiler appear to be the same basic version of gcc, but slightly 
different build.  I will try recompiling the 2.6.23 kernel with the latest 
compiler to see if the problem then occurs.

Regarding the kernel config itself, I attach the two config files and the 
output of diff -u.

HTH,
Steve.
