Mike -
You will need a new kernel for XFS, no way around that.
The kernels from the 1.1 XFS release in
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.1/kernel_rpms/2.4.9-31-RH/
are the closest match to what you're running now, install that
kernel (rpm -ivh, so you keep your old kernel too) and boot it up.
(double check, ext2/ext3 might be a module, so you might need a ramdisk
for that).
You'll have XFS support, and not much else has changed. I don't know
what changes were made from the -31 to -34 kernels, though. If they're
importatnt to you, I don't think we have XFS merged into your
particular kernel anywhere.
