There may be a solution, but it depends on whether or not you need XFS
on the "main" (probably /) partition.
If you can run another fs on / (like Ext3) and you actually need XFS
only on the data partition, you could simply install using the vanilla
Red Hat 9 installer, then install the XFS kernel, then the XFS
utilities, reboot with the XFS kernel, create the 3rd partition, format
it with XFS...
That's what i usually do when these conditions are both true:
- i don't need XFS on /
- the XFS installer has some issues on that particular platform
