No, the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels don't have the 2 GB limit.

Your software needs to be recompiled though to take advantage
of the LFS (large file) interface; for inn this means running
"configure" with the --enable-largefiles option.

Note that this does change the history file format as well.
I'm not sure about overview/storage. So its not a drop-in upgrade
or replacement.
