For those of you that like to stay on the bleeding edge with you kernels,
don't.  2.4.15 (and 2.5.0) have a bug that can cause file systems
corruption.  Inodes are not delete properly, and it can't be compiled on
alpha, sparc, ppc ect.

Patches for all these issues are available on LKML.

Regards,
Rob
