It has every conceivable combination of CPU/SMP with ext3 built as a module. You can just use the corresponding kernel RPMS "as is" or use the source .config file (in /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs/) as a guide to build your own. YMMV but "it works for me" - for testing I've added external-to-the-kernel modules (like ALSA/JFS/upped lm_sensors to 2.6.2) using their headers (to get the modversions) without rebuilding the kernel binary and the computer hasn't melted or exploded yet.
