The only kernels you are likely to see that not happen on are
- The 2.4.9 kernel with Rik's patches that Linus didnt take (Red Hat 2.4.9-*) - 2.4.17/18pre with the rmap11/rmap12 patches - 2.4.17/18pre with the -aa patched VM (which I believe is also in the SuSE kernel packages) - 2.2
The base VM in Linus tree has been broken since before 2.4.0 and while somewhat better is still that - broken. The major vendors don't ship it for a reason.
