Valid point, however, in my case they are one in the same.

The hard drive is a western digital SATA raptor with a VIA SATA chipset.
This is enabled in the kernel.  I'm also using the same config that the
livecd used (which detected my drives no problem).

I hadn't thought about that.  I guess I thought it might have something
to do with it just because this is my first time trying out XFS and I
ran into problems.  I'm usually a reiserfs guy :) 
You are correct though.  It didn't say anything about XFS so I shouldn't
have jumped to conclusions.

Thanks!
