I'm using rh7.3, rh8.0 and rh9.0
8 and 9 are running stock 2.4.21 + xfs patches and i'm getting fs corruption
7.3 is running the sgi-supplied redhat installer, and it runs flawlessly

The whole redhat 2.4.20 kernel is crap. I've had a number of boxes lockup
on it. Initially it was the firewall, but then at home I've had other
boxes lock up under load with it. 2.4.20-19.x got a little better but was
still totally screwed up. Going to a stock 2.4.20 fixed all the issues
I've been having.
The root of this one is IMHO RH 2.4.20 is actually 2.4.21-pre3 plus a mass
of patches.
