It's basically not possible to backport the current XFS code to a pre-2.4.11
kernel, I'd suggest you use a newer kernel anyway. Anyway, where is
that kernel rpm downloadable? The newest kernel on RH's ftp site
is 2.4.9-10.
The Advanced server product still uses a 2.4.9 based kernel which is
heavily modified. I don't think it is worth the trouble to make it patch
and work.
The sources for AS are available on the ftp site somewhere IIRC but you
have to pay $800 anually for the product itself.
So I am afraid that XFS in RHAS is a no-go and it would also void any
support that you just paid for.
