This should probably work yes. Must admit I haven't played with it much -
it's too much of a pain getting the NVIDIA drivers working with a 2.4
kernel I think. I do know that you can get the hack kernel
(2.4.whatever) from Mandrake 7.2 to boot with a Reiser FS system just by
turning off high memory support and recompiling though. I've also tried a
few other 2.4.x test kernels, and they work the same way with Reiser FS.
