Okay, just out of wondering then, why is it that redhat
never uses a stock ft.**.kernel.org kernel for use with
there systems when tehy have a new version. (It's meant as
an honest question.) The kernel I get when I install redhat
has lots of patches that have been applied to it. I am
always having to go out and grab a stock kernel to get
something solid to apply patches against.
As for the 2.4 kernel, I believe they were waiting for the
new base filesystem code to be integrated in before they
added reiser fs into the kernel, at least that was the gist
I was getting about a week and a half ago on lkml.
