2.4.0 does not have any ReiserFS support. Linus apparently didn't
think ReiserFS is safe to use yet.
The Mandrake packagers are more daring, I guess.
The 2.4.0 kernel is significantly stripped down compared to Mandrake
or most of the other distros. A large part of that is because
Mandrake turns on a lot of optional features during kernel
configuration. You can turn them on yourself when you run "make
menuconfig" or "make xconfig".
