I've done the following:
Downloaded SGI's RH7.1-SGI-XFS-1.0.iso file, installed the kernel
SRPM file, added Trond's patch and build the different rpm's.
I've replaced SGI's rpms with the new ones and made an iso file
out of it.
This can be found at: ftp://ftp.crc.dk/pub/rh71irixnfspatch/
in the XFS subdirectory.
BTW[1], I had to name the RPM's the same as on the original CD, as
I couldn't get genhdlist to work. What is the right way of doing
this?
BTW[2], I couldn't do a graphical installation on an intel 815
based machine, X won't start. Have some modules been taken
out of the boot image (i.e. agpgart) in order to make room for xfs?
