The kernels from my site are built under Red Hat 7.1 and also reflect the 
latest errata kernel.
They are based on the 2.4.18-24 errata from Red Hat and also include the 
XFS 1.2pre5 patches.

Although the name still says pre5 it is ofcourse the 1.2 code.

So if you need the Red Hat 7.x variant this would be your best bet.

I am rebuilding this kernel with the proper 1.2 name on a Red Hat 7.3 box 
at the moment. But this could take a while (half a day).

There might also be a new errata kernel coming soon which *should* fix 
numerous network problems related to gigabit ethernet. Keep in mind however 
that the last 4 errata release from Red Hat which should have fixed this 
still have not solved the problem to date.
There was -17, -18, -19 and now -24.

Cheers
