So you booted the 1.1 rpms (verified by "uname -r" showing
2.4.9-31SGI_XFS_1.1)?
If you get that result after booting the RPM kernel, you have xfs support.
If not, please see http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/102_rpm.html for
instructions on installing and booting from the RPM packages.
Then, if you are trying to mount filesystems from IRIX, please see
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#useirixdisks for caveats and
limitations when doing this. In particular, your filesystem block size
on the IRIX filesystem must be 4k, currently. This requirement will
(hopefully) be going away fairly soon.
By the way, the reason your source compiled kernel didn't work is that it
sounds like you picked bits and pieces of the XFS source tree and copied
it into a standard tree; that won't work. If you ever do want to
compile it from the source, please see
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/source.html
Good luck,
-Eric
