Thibaut had planned to setup a second buildd (and I think had it up for a while?) but that box experienced a hardware failure. We're also working on moving one of the buildds to a different platform (rp2470). We have no specific reason to believe that will be any better, but its worth a shot. > I run stock: linux-image-2.6.26-1-parisc64-smp (2.6.26-13) > on my SMP 2x PA8700 system without any problems. There are several reports of stability on various mixtures of kernel/platform - and the non-buildd debian.org hppa machine seems to be quite stable as well. But, once we start running a buildd on something, instability issues abound. > > * The debian-installer dailies that are now built again, but seem to > > fail to build most of the time.
