One system crashes during every other boot, even if I boot into
maintenance mode. And if I do a normal boot, it gives me the black
screen of death after X starts. I suspect severe file-system damage
and plan to reinstall.
The other (an AMD64) crashes shortly after X starts. Often within a
minute. If I avoid mouse movement and just use text consoles within X I
can get it to survive a few minutes; once even for an hour. If I
ctl-alt-F1 immediately after X starts, I can use that text console
indefinitely. This one looks like an X server problem. It doesn't
matter which X server I use, framebuffer or nvidia proprietary. It
doesn't matter which window manager I use. I doesn't matter whether I
use 32- or 64-bit etch. It does make a difference to use Ubuntu
instead, leaving me to suspect this is a bug Ubuntu has fixed, but that
it has not yet propagated upstream.
The third system just runs reliably.
In my judgement, 1 out of 3 isn't a high enough success rate for
release. But I understand others' experience is different.

Both problems ave been discussed elsewhere. The second one is bug
