12 As far as my experience with gcc3 and kernelcompiles goes, I do not recommend
13 using gcc3* for compiling kernels (neither on x86 or ppc) - at least not
14 until gcc is completely adopted/supported by the kernel-space people.
15 Btw. do all your ppc kernels have this problem?

21 I'll be testing reiserfs, haven't tried XFS yet...(think I should :-) ) I've
22 never had any real problems using reiserfs on the x86 platform and I do not
23 expect reiserfs to behave incorrectly on ppc.
