I just get you must specify the filesystem type. If the file system type is System V I should be able to compile that into centos right? I will try all the other ideas that you all have given me tomorrow but I don't mind spending some time tonight compiling for the old file system. I have run make menuconfig and then navigated to sysv file system and placed an * on it then saved the ran make but it gave me a error and never finished the make.
