I've found the problem.
diskdrake didn't change the fomatting of the drive when I converted (or thought I had) them from reiserfs to xfs. It only changed the entry in fstab. It was trying to mount reiserfs drives as xfs. When I thought I had formatted them I apparently didn't know that the "Format" button doesn't do anything. I haven't checked bugzilla for this yet, but I guess I will.
That would explain why, as one poster suggested, manually creating the file system did the trick where doing it through diskdrake did not.
I found out what was wrong by starting an install of Mandrake 9.2 Beta 2. It was reporting the file system as reiserfs-- contradicting what diskdrake was saying (xfs).
Anyway... now to manually create the xfs partitions...
Thanks everyone-- for the suggestions.
If you might remember it was one of my last suggestions to mount the partitions as reiser. ;)

It sure was...but did you know why it was a good suggestion? :-P
