Yes. But if you download the 2.2.18 code from kernel.org, it doesn't
come with ReiserFS nor Firewire; you have to go get that stuff yourself,
and patch the 2.2.18 source code. Otherwise, you won't be able to access
those ReiserFS partitions. Trust me. :-)
And I was wondering if there was just one place I could go for those
type of kernel-level patches, rather than 2 or more, in order to be able
to support all the same stuff the out-of-the-box kernel does.

Mine, too. Well, I can't get the 2.4 code to boot properly (one of the
reasons I wanted a 2.2.18 kernel), but the 2.2.17 is working OK.
