I've got 3.2.35 running to fairly good effect on multiple systems (E4500, U60 etc.) with an uptime of at least weeks. 3.2.0 from Wheezy fails when running a heavy mix on a V880.

We need to start consolidating these issues into one place so that interested parties can look into them. I care about sun4u working and will attempt to fix kernel issues. Let's create a new thread / bug report for that. Is there some kind of wiki space for debian-sparc?
