This is from an Indy running 2.3.21. I've had no stability problems, but the machine
isn't doing much yet.

Today I exchanged the R5000 CPU module in my Indy against a R4600 module
and found that on R4600SC the kernel runs reliable while it crashs pretty
soon after booting on a R5000SC module.  This is consistent with the
reports that I've looked at.

I'd appreciate some more reports from people who did upgrade from a
kernel older than 2.3.11 to 2.3.11 or newer.  Do you experience crashes
with the newer kernel?  What type of CPU are you using?

Thanks,

  Ralf
