Don't worry, on i386 it crashes on boot ;-)

Nice to know.
What about a file describing known/suspected problems with each of the kernels? Say comments-2.1.44:
Don't use, screws up your filesystem -- Linus 970707 Crashes on boot on i386 -- Horst von Brand 970706 ...
comments-2.1.43:
Messes up ext2 filesystems when renaming a directory -- ...
I know this is extra work for the maintainers, but there are lots of enthusiastic testers out there that aren't reached by the lists...
Good luck!
