SuSE does not ship a XFS enabled kernel (yet).
You have to install a kernel yourself.
If you are searching for a rescue system: check the archive for a link.


The redhat kernel-rpm should make no trouble, install it,
check the name of the kernel image (something like /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9* perhaps)
and add that to your /etc/lilo.conf:


# cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot    = /dev/sda
vga     = normal
read-only
menu-scheme=kg:bw:kg:Rg
prompt
timeout = 30

  image  = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-xfs
  label  = xfs249
  root   = /dev/sda6
[...]

If you need reiserfs for boot your something NOT included in the
kernel: check /etc/rc.config for 

INITRD_MODULES="aic7xxx usbcore"

(add your needed modules there :) and run "mk_initrd"
Then you have to add a corresponding

initrd=/boot/vmlinuz*

to the lilo.conf entry.
