BTW one can simply go back to larger stacks. This is then a kernel
outside the TUV's support, as it is a self-compiled one, but it will
make XFS, ndiswrapper and all that work again.

Less for XFS, but more for ndiswrapper Matthias Hensler is providing
8k stack kernels for RHEL5 at ATrpms, the suspend2/tuxonice kernel
series. He also adds XFS, JFS, Reiserfs, FUSE to the mix. It also gets
all the kmdl love any other kernel gets.

But there is not so high consumption of this package, so it isn't
really following up the errata (at 8.1.4 currently). If there were
interest I would try to keep more up to date - although given that
there are now three custom 3rd party kernels from SL/CentOS/ATrpms on
the market I think one should rather concentrate on merging these
efforts into one special kernel package and then keep that package up
to date wrt errata.
