 Some of them are next:
 1. Video out, No signal after heavy X loads, casual reboots
 2. RCU hangchecks and stack dumps. No reboots generally just a lot of noise.

* Kernel stuff

The distro runs Linux Kernel 3.16.1 so it might hit a few known kernel bugs,
Some of them are next:
1. Video out, No signal after heavy X loads, casual reboots
2. RCU hangchecks and stack dumps. No reboots generally just a lot of noise.
3. Workers poor configuration for High-end multitasking.
4. A few IPv4 network stack overflows. eventual reboots.

* TODO
