No, you don't. I always patch my kernels with ide, raid, usb and lately
with i2c (in that particular order). I don't know about reiser, as it's
still not ready for 64 bit architectures (Alpha) and also clashes with
raid code (in some cases). I don't recall ever trying in any other
order...

That "dangerous" package is not dangerous because of it's code, but
because of it's features, that could be misused and lead to data loss.

Now that all required patches are ready, it's not all that much work.

That's weird, but probably the two kernels disagree about the drive
geometry. It would be nice if you could investigate just a bit more.
