Hmmm, you didn't quite answer his question. Philippe, whether you use the -ac
series or 2.4.10-pre4 is not a reiserfs issue, and we honestly don't yet know
which is more stable in matters not reiserfs. Both should be equally the most
stable thing available in regards to reiserfs. I know you want us to just tell
you which to use, we can't, maybe the other list members have experience
regarding the stability of the kernels in question in matters not reiserfs.
