Oh, on a related note, I was able to manually stuff xfs.ko into the existing kernel's /lib/modules directory, and run depmod. Combined with installing xfsprogs (thank you, rpmforge), this let me create a filesystem. Yay! Then I tried to mount it, and got "Operation not supported." Boo.

THANK YOU EASTER PAEYL!

This was the clue I needed. I compiled the module with no options, wanting to keep it simple. When I added in the non-experimental stuff under XFS, such as quotas, and re-did copying the xfs.ko file and running depmod, it now works! Hot damn! Thanks so much!
