I think you will need more information to get any type of sane reply.

We are running 2.4.14 on a PE6400, quad 700/4G in a production environment.
It has been stable, VM works well, using ext2 due to problems with the ext3
patch for that particular version of kernel.

eepro100 NICs, MegaRAID driver running raid1 and raid5, aic7xxx...

If you want to contact me off line, we can compare kernel configs etc.
