I just compiled a 2.4.3 stock kernel from kernel.org and added the xfs
patches in redhat 7.1.  I did this after first using the xfs redhat
installer.  Then I wanted to custom compile the kernel so I got a newer
2.4.3 generic one since it had a newer aic7xxx driver.

I am very new to linux I didn't know this would even cause a potential
problem.  So far I haven't noticed any problems...  Will this lead to
potential problems?  I am going to be using this server as a production
webserver.  I definitely don't want any problems once it is in place 2000
miles away...
