Look under filesystems in menuconfig (or xconfig).

Here's a bit of the latest changlog (I don't have time to download the
kernel 2.4.19, unzip it and make menuconfig right now):

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ChangeLog-2.4.20 (grep for
xfs)

When QA testing XFS 1.2 we observed in-memory corruption under extreme
	load (fsx, usemem & bash-shared-mapping) when using block size <
pagesizes.

apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4

This has xfs and reiserfs and ext3.

Here's an installer for xfs out of the box for debian:

These disks exists for RedHat as well (google is your friend).
