I think you are missing my point. I do XFS installs from Redhat all
the time, and it works when using physical CDs. In this case I was
trying out the "upgrade from existing hard disk" method and that
particular option does not work with XFS, probably because the
installer does not load the XFS module on that rarely used code path.
To name the hard drive as the installer source, does the iso image not
have to be mounted on loopback first? It isn't really a hard drive
source when it is just an iso image. [I'm probably missing part of the
conversation]
