Hi Gustavo -

The latest "official" stable kernel is what you have, 2.4.9/1.0.2. This is
the last kernel package that has been through any sort of rigorous
testing at SGI.

As others have pointed out on the list, either a CVS update or getting the
2.4.17 snapshot patches from the patches/ directory is a way to get more
recent code.  This code has not been through rigorous testing, but
it seems pretty stable at this point.  However, if you require
pre-packaged, binary, tested kernels, then you have the latest available.
