CentOS - Feb 2007 - XFS for CentOS 2.6.9-42.0.8 [ was: issue - no keyboard after reboot]

Okay, so far so good - and many thanks to all who jumped in on this one.

Now, we would like to look into making some changes in XFS, but I didn't
see a SRPM for the kernel-module-xfs for 42.0.8 - the most recent one is
for 42.0.3.

Is this usable, or is there somewhere (else?) I can get the SRPM for the
42.0.8 XFS?

Thanks.

You pass in the kernel version as an argument.  You need to download:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/SRPMS/kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp-0.2-1.src.rpm

Install it and read the spec file, it tells you how to pass in the
kernel version to get it to build.

Just rebuild the 42.0.3 kernel-module-xfs SRPM - the xfs module SRPM is 
really tied to the kernel version ...
