The standard Debian Lenny kernel is 2.6.26, and comes with built-in xfs
support. If you're using some custom kernel, check that it was properly
compiled with xfs support (see in /boot/config-2.6.xxxxxx if there's
CONFIG_XFS_FS=m or CONFIG_XFS_FS=y ), or that there isn't an optional
package for some kernel modules.
