I have run the 2.4.4 kernel and runs flawlessly.
As for what you stated on XFS, true, but it you don't use XFS,
then you wouldn't need any of the XFS tools, as with many other kernel
features.
For example: How many people install ipchains, or ipvsadm on kernel
2.2? Still, the kernel manages to do very well without them. These user
tools are needed for control of these subsystems and when they don't
exist, the kernel has a default behavior (such as, being able to mount XFS
partitions).

Wow..... Zillion things...
One
example:
In one of the last Cookers (I don't know if the latest
too), I saw
an XFS supporting kernel, plus a special XFS fsck and other
user-
level programs for XFS. If you take this kernel and put it under
the
standard 8.0, you don't have these programs.
Let me re-ask
my question:
I didn't ask if the Cooker's kernel depends on
specific parts of
Cooker; It DOES depend. What I asked, was - what
parts exactly?

There may be a different compiler, glibc,
etc., in Cooker vs. 8.0.

I'll do it.
Thanks!
