Here's another good reason for using a pre-2.6 kernel for BL3: 

   ZDNet UK reports that Andrew Morton, the head maintainer of 
   the Linux production kernel, is concerned about the amount 
   of bugs in the 2.6 kernel.  He is considering the possibility 
   of dedicating an entire release cycle to fixing long standing 
   bugs.  One problem is that few developers are motivated to work 
   on bugs, according to Morton.  This is particularly a problem 
   for bugs that affect old computers or peripherals.

Cheers,
Steven
