You only really need XFS in the installer if you are making the root 
filesystem XFS.  Maybe you should make an ext3 root filesystem then setup the 
rest of your XFS storage after the install.

If I REALLY needed XFS on the root partition, I'd probably go with a 
distribution that explicitly supports it, like OpenSUSE.
