No, most apps wont be affected by a kernel upgrade. Ive gone from a
2.0.x kernel to 2.4.x with the same Apache without trouble.

Looking at your posts, Im sure there is nothing that will fail, but for
starters you might want to just try recompiling the current kernel.

Assuming you have the source, gcc, make etc. installed:

=================
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules

mv /lib/modules/2.4.9-31 /lib/modules/2.4.9-31.org (better to keep a
backup of the original)

make modules_install
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.9-31.new
cp .config /boot/config-2.4.9-31.new
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31.new
vi /etc/grub.conf (or /etc/lilo.conf)
(lilo -v)
reboot
=================

Once you do that correctly, you can move onto XFS.
