Just an update on this.

Someone has pointed out that the recommended 2.4.20 kernel has an ext3
data corruption bug (which fortunately will not affect most users).

The changset comments for the ext3 bug are at:
<http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.4/cset (at) 1 (dot) 793 [email concealed]?nav=index.html|Change
Set@-1d>

Please be careful if updating to 2.4.20, or wait until 2.4.21.
