I have eight SS10/512 (Dual-CPU) and one SS20 and the last Release  was
Sarge and failed with Etch.  Some Kernel related problems...

But if you are happy with an older Kernel, you can  roll  your  own  one
(the one from Sarge) and use it under Etch which should work nicely.

Be carefull, if you upgrade from Sarge to Etch, since you will run  into
trouble, if your Kernel NEED modules...

I had to compile all needed modules into the kernel.
