Appreciate it, but in the future please hold off your report until you've got something to report.

Have been running 2.6.16.19 on a Via Epia system for 2 days now, without any problems. The system acts as a server btw.

[Comment 6 Matthias Langer 2006-06-07 02:37:05 UTC]

2.6.16.19 also does his job here (x86):

$ uname -svpr
Linux 2.6.16.19 #1 PREEMPT Tue Jun 6 20:07:49 CEST 2006 Celeron (Coppermine)

$ uptime

[Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-06-12 10:25:17 UTC]

x86 done

[Comment 8 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2006-07-08 15:30:22 UTC]

PPC is already stable, thanks Chainsaw.

[Comment 9 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-08-06 04:49:13 UTC]

amd64 is happy

[Comment 10 Henrik Brix Andersen 2006-08-06 14:26:32 UTC]

I'll let the remaining archs mark it stable on their own time.
