The 8.0/XFS installer should work, but it is a bit rough around the
edges.

There should be an xfs-capable kernel based on Red Hat's 2.4.20-18.9
kernel in a bit, you can take the SRPM from that, compare the .spec
files from 2.4.20-18.7 to turn off some RH9-specific patches, and build
yourself an 8.0 kernel.  Then it's the whole root filesystem migration
dance, if the installer won't work for you.
