I didn't know there's a dev.centos.org.  There's quite a bit of stuff
there.  What exactly are these?

kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-11.EL-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.EL-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
kernel-module-xfs-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm

Do these contain just the xfs module?

I've forgotten about the src rpm for the unsupported kernel.  I'll try
building with that instead after changing the name.
