That, and 6.2 is not particularly "2.4 ready" so you would need to get
many other system RPMs updated to support a 2.4 kernel...  see the
"Changes" document in the 2.4.x kernel trees.

Then, after those (and all of THEIR dependencies) have been upgraded,
you could possibly install the 2.4/XFS kernel RPMs, make your XFS
filesystems, and migrate your data.  Sounds like a lot of work.  :)
