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?

I read that repos for x86_64 have a kernel module, but I didn't found it to

I have a machine running XFS with the stock kernel.
[adamb@skeletor ~]$ cat /etc/issue
Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon)
[adamb@skeletor ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
...
UUID=601f4a9a-8d68-4691-8a7a-3082cb367cc6 /var xfs

Is there a specific feature of XFS you need that is unsupported?
