     On my SL5 32 bit system at home I don't use xfs, and lsmod showed no 
xfs module loaded until I did 'modprobe xfs'.  Then it was there, although 
xfs cannot yet be used because xfsprogs isn't installed.  If your kernel 
is the standard one, you ought to already have xfs in it.  Do you have the 
xfsprogs rpm installed?
