I seem to have found a 'sweet spot' with a rock solid kernel right now, but for about two weeks after upgrading my dual p3 to a dual opteron, it was crashing every second day due to some kernel issues. Was never able to debug it though, since I'm sitting in Oslo (Norway) and the box is in Hamburg (Germany), so all I could do was upgrading kernel/world small steps at a time until it survived a night ;) But right now, it's pretty darn smooth. And the fastest box I've ever laid my hands on, locally or remote. /Eirik
