You should send the last part of the output from
compiling.  That could help.

You should be able to apply the xfs and then the ext3
patch.  However, the ext3 patch is going to fail because
of a problem in include/fs.h.  All ext3 is trying to
do is add an entry to a structure so you can do that
by hand (see include/fs.h.rej).

Finally, you will get failures due to duplicates in
kernel/ksyms.h  (it may be ksyms.c).  What ever the
linker complains about, remove those entries from
ksyms.

If you download the latest xfs kernel source
from cvs it already has ext3 include so there isn't
any problem with patching.
