Maybe I need to move this discussion to the anaconda mailing list.
Anyway, I've been unable to get the xfs kernel module to load. Comparing the setup in Fedora Core 4, I noticed that xfs.ko is dependent on exportfs.ko (in modules.dep). I've added the modules to netstg2.img and stage2.img. Anaconda (loader) is unable to load the modules (although both are copied to /tmp). There's nothing in the log to pinpoint what the problem is. Anyone knows what I'm missing? Why is anaconda/loader unable to load these modules?
My guess is that these modules don't match the running installer kernel.
I think you should really start from scratch - get hold of the CentOSPlus kernel RPMS and xfsprogs RPM and rebuild the installer - hacking modules into the various installer images is very unlikely to work and difficult to maintain - I've tried it before, but it is so much simpler to rebuild the installer (once you've worked out what to do) ...
What do you mean by rebuild the installer? I wonder what could be different since I am using rpmbuild to build the i586 kernel then copying just the new modules I'm interested in.
