My woody/sparc5 has always been stable under 2.2.x & unstable under 2.4.x.

I have a note that it stayed up for 54 days under 2.2.19.

My root file system was corrupted while running 2.4.19 in October.

Since reinstalling it's been running 2.2.20 ... crashed once, maybe twice.

I'm not totally confident my disc is OK however.
