I'd be suspicious of the Ross processors.
I have an SS20 with dual SM81's and 192MB of RAM with (2) 2.5GB Seagate
7200RPM disks. No problem installing (after learning the "tell it it's
really a rescue boot" trick) with 2.2.20bf or upgrading to 2.2.20-smp.
It's solid as a rock
with no hangs.
Just another data point for comparison.
