upgrading to 2.4.19 kernel

["Chris Szilagyi" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've got a couple systems running Red Hat 7.1 with XFS 1.0.1 (using 
the pre-built kernel supplied by SGI, 2.4.3_SGI_XFS_1.0.1). I would like to 
upgrade the kernel to a more recent version to solve some problems, like to 
2.4.19.  Will I break anything by compiling a new 2.4.19 kernel from the 
source and applying the patches for 2.4.19 for XFS??  If this would work, can 
somebody tell me which patches to use on 2.4.19 (i.e. which ones are known to 
be the most stable)???

Thanks in advance...
