Ok I build the Mandrake 8.0 kernel rpm with XFS 1.0
included.
Everything is in the "testing" directory on oss.sgi.com.
I've also removed the jumbo patch and replaced with a mandrake "core" patch,
to use this patch the XFS will also be needed "linux-2.4-xfs-1.0.patch.gz"
The src rpm has everything tied together so I would recommend that if you really
want to build the tree.
I haven't booted the kernels so if anybody is brave enough to try please report
back.
