Hi! Compiled a new non-modules kernel 2.4.19-smp including xfs Debian package using gcc-3.2 without any hiccups. And it boots, subjectively seems a bit faster, but that might be (partially) due to 2.4.19 replacing 2.4.18. Still don't know if boot from an xfs / partition will work, however, because I haven't yet found the time to reformat etc. Lucien
