I tried the same against 2.4.14, but had the same problems you
described below. I then tried the split-only and split-kernel patches from
the
2.4.14 XFS cvs snapshot, taken just before or after 1.0.2 release - no
changes required. Everything seems to be working dandy.

I haven't tried any compilers earlier that gcc 3.0, but 3.0.1 and 3.0.3
have both worked for me.

I had both of these symptoms after applying the 1.0.2 patch in its
entirety. After switching to split-kernel and split-only patches only
these things went away. I didn't delve any deeper.
