Looking forward to it ..

I should look into that. This method will build the atrpms package for
the centosplus kernel ?

What I did so far, is just get the latest centos kernel src.rpm ,
modify the config file so it includes JFS support and recompiled the
rom using the same version name and install it.

That way your kmdl work without a single modification.

If you tell me how to produce kmdl from the linux source code ; I
could do it ...

This is what I tried to do first, but  having dealt with FreeBSD for
much longer than linux, I quickly gave up and recompiled a whole
kernel instead.

Your help, as always is very much appreciated
