Can you be more specific about the stability?

I am actually using the Novell GPL drivers in Windows 2000 and they seem to work fine. > Citrix PV drivers only work with version 5.5, not 5.6, pvops kernel works on > my hardware with debian pvops xen 4.0.1 kernel, but xen pvops kernel > compiled according to wiki fc13 page has errors with agpart loading and so > on..... so i'm waiting for 4.0.3 ;-) Hm, the agpart loading I thought was fixed. When did you observe this behavior?
