I don't know exactly what hardware you have, but my J5k is chugging 
happily along running 2.4.19-64-smp from sid, and the only problem I have 
encountered as of yet is a lockup when starting setserial on boot.  Other 
than that, it seems to be as stable as uniproc 32-bit.  Whatever hardware 
you have, I'm willing to bet that it isn't a J5k, and any differences 
involved may complicate things, so (as always) YMMV.

Good luck...
