That's likely to be you're problem - the kernel modules from a rebuilt 
kernel RPM probably won't match the kernel in the installer.

Rebuilding the installer with and an XFS enabled kernel will result in a 
working installer ... as you've seen, hacking the installer by adding 
modules, doesn't work - that is the main difference ...
