Which problem and which platform (RH8.0 or RH9)? And is the problem
expected to be there or not (e.g. the atrpms kernel have exactly XFS
1.3.0 and nothing newer)? I obviously kinda lost the context ... ;)

Make sure you do have the latest (stable) atrpms bits, especially the
kernel and rpm itself (if you are referring to the O_DIRECT bug).

I install kernels with grub without any problems for quite some time
now. There are (were?) issues with the installer & grub, but I am not
sure you are referring to them.

Please add the output of
rpm -q kernel rpm xfsprogs
