I wonder what's going on here, I've never had any trouble with any of  
my builds of the 3.2 kernels.

I'd particularly like to know what the bugs are and how they manifest,  
as I have deployed 3.2 on many servers and hope to keep deploying.

We've run this kernel on Dell, HP and some desktop hardware with no  
issues so far. What are the differences in build environment and  
config do we think?

Cheers,
Ben
