     I installed the lastest kernel:

		kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.x86_64

and XFS module:

		kernel-module-xfs-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5-0.4-2.sl5.x86_64

on a SL5.3 system.  After rebooting, the kernel didn't know anything about
XFS, when my previous one still did.  I saw Troy's note, so I uninstalled both
the kernel and XFS module.  I enabled the `sl-testing' repo and updated yum.
 I then proceeded to install both of the above packages again.  I rebooted and
the new kernel still didn't know anything about XFS.  Shouldn't the XFS module
been automatically included in the new `initrd' file?  Did I do something out
of order or wrong?  I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.

     I manually ran the `mkinitrd' command and now the system boots fine with
the new kernel.
