Hi, I encountered a problem with 2.4 kernels today. Decompressing a 60+ Mb file with bzip2, residing on a vfat partition, gave errors reporting that the archive was corrupt. When I rebooted into windows and ran scandisk it couldn't find any problem with the partition. That made me suspicious... I rebooted into an leftover 2.2.18, ran "bunzip -t" on the file, and all was fine. Rebooted back into 2.4.3, bunzip gave errors. Tried 2.4.2 (had an image of that left around as well), errors too. I copied the file (in 2.2.18) to my ext2 partition, tested it with bzip2 in the 2.4 kernels and all was fine - so it is most likely a vfat related problem. Also, the file was written to the vfat partition in 2.4.2, so writing may not even be affected by this possible bug.
