I'm currently testing out 2.6.32.4 on one of my systems, and it seems
stable thus far (though I ran into an issue with having security labels
enabled for the reiser filesystem).

I'd like to get a consensus of just how stable this kernel is and
evaluate it for the potential of being the new kernel on the ISO. I am
therefore calling on all developers who have experience with the 2.6.32
series (and in particular with the .4 version) to tell me the following:

 * which kernels you have run (in the 2.6.32 series, yes tell me all the
  numbers you have experience with)

2.6.23.0, 2.6.32.2
 
 * how stable each of the kernels has been for you

Haven't had any problems with either.
 
 * what hardware you have run the kernels on

AMD Athlon X2 4800
2GB RAM
Asus Mobo, nVidia2 chipset
 
 * what filesystems, security options, etc. you use with it (or have
  enabled in the kernel)

 * how long you have run/been running each of the kernels

Several weeks for both.
 
 * if you experienced problems/bugs, what were they? How serious? Are
  there (relatively) easy workarounds you know of?  

Have not experienced any problems with either kernel in my time using them.
 
I thank you all in advance for any information you can offer me in this.
Here's to hoping that the 2.6.32 series really is the new "stable"
series!
