That wiki article needs to be updated. The centosplus kernel does not
have xfs enabled any more. Therefore, cplus kernel users also need to
install kmod-xfs (which is available from the centosplus repo).

If you are running CentOS-4, the last 2 kernels do not (yet) have
corresponding kmod-xfs.  You need to wait for CentOS devs to build
those kmods or to supply a kernel version independent kmod.
