I've got a couple of Qube2 machines running 1.5.2.  They are pretty 
lightly used: one's my DSL router for my house, and the other is pretty 
much just a spare that I build packages on and try things out.  I've 
seen both machines lock up more than once, but I haven't seen it in a 
few months.

I also didn't have a console on either machine's serial port, so I don't 
know what happened either :-(
