I went through http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DebuggingSystemCrash and
unfortunately when the system hangs the keyboard is completely nonresponsive so
I can't capture any messages with a key sequence or even ctrl-alt-delete to
reboot. I have to hold the power button to shut down.

I updated to the latest available BIOS from Gateway with no improvement.

I turned off the Plug and Play BIOS option, with no improvement

I was able to make the 2.6.8 kernel boot without complaints -- it was a module I
was loading for the digital sound system (which I don't have plugged in right
now) so I removed it from /etc/modules and 2.6.8 boots normally now, and ALSA no
longer complains of a card configuration problem during bootup & power down.

[I have NOT yet added acpi=force to the kernel command line in grub -- I will
need to do that to make this machine able to power down properly. I have tried
adding it manually, and it does not affect the module hang.]

$ cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a "#", and everything on the line after them are ignored.

# power control -- didn't work -- needs acpi=force instead
#apm power_off=1
