I have merged in the XFS patches from 1.2 into the latest release RedHat
kernel for Red Hat 9.

You can find them under

        http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/name/kernel/

The XFS enabled kernel for Red Hat 8.0 (based on kernel-2.4.18-27.8)
is still available, but obsoleted due to security flaws. Sorry, I have
no RH8.0 machines anymore to build/test 8.0 kernels. _Probably_ you
can grab the src.rpm and simply rebuild on Red Hat 8.0.

Note that there are also some additional patches.

    * base kernel sources: Taken from redhat errata (2.4.20-18.9)
    * XFS: merged patches found in 1.2
    * i2c-2.7.0 and lm_sensors-2.7.0. You should also get the updated
      userland tools.
    * (note: only available upon request) 3ware kernel driver update
      for Escalade 7xxx series. Try to keep in sync with your
      firmware and userland tools.
    * v4l2-api (from http://bytesex.org/v4l/)

Implemenation note:

 The XFS changes to the kernel*.config files have been extracted and
 provided as appendable files (a modular and a static one), which get
 appended at rpm build time.

 That way kernel*.src.rpm from both XFS enabled and stock Red Hat
 setups can coexist in extracted form and kernel errata updates are
 easier and faster to perform (no need to mangle with kernel*.config
 anymore).
