Please bear in mind a point Doug has already stressed -- the 2.0 kernels
hit hardware much harder that 1.2 kernels.
As a real data point, we had a machine running 1.2.x, and the processor
fan had stopped. It lasted two weeks of uptime. We booted on one of the
2.0pre kernels, and invariably got 3 or 4 oopses merely on boot-up, and
that was if it didn't spontaneously reboot.
