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.
