Even more good - I had a pending bug report about 2.6.17 packages about
watchdog timeouts dropping me back to PROM prompt, either uner load or
at night under unknown circumstances. But your 2.6.18 packages has been
stable so far for several days with no single problem. Have yet to try
reading a CD (this has thrown ESP SCSI errors in installer), but so far
it seems to be the first stable Debian kernel for this machine since
Sarges's 2.6.8.
