The problem is that the extras and centosplus items are on hold while work on CentOS-5.2.
I have not built the centosplus kernel for 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 as we are using the builders for 5.2 and kernels take forever to build in the builders as the debuginfo files are hundreds of MBs in size each.
I also normally build all the extras kmods while I build the centosplus kernel, so they were also not yet done ... however I did go ahead and build the new kmods for drbd82, xfs, and kvm for the new 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 kernel and those have now been pushed to the extras directory.
They should be synced to the external public mirrors in a couple hours, and should be on mirror.centos.org now here:
