Well, yeah, sadly, I had the same problem, I had /dev/hda2 (root partition) formatted XFS, but the kernel wasn't able to mount it... I am still wondering what to do... to boot with an older SuSE distro (8.2, 9.0), and to update the kernel somehow (there's plenty of updates available - that makes me wonder if that wasn't a "rush release" - I don't have any excuse for the SuSE team and I find NO explanation, whatsoever, for leaving the kernel without XFS support)
I have yet to purchase 9.1 here. We need XFS support for sure. Is there any fix for this ? We have standardized our servers on Debian previously but as the latest one had new Adaptec Raid, SuSE was the only distro that would pick up the hardware and find the HD upon the install.
Kudo's to SuSE on the 9.0 Pro version for this. We are awaiting to hear now on the XFS issue before moving up.
Go search the data base. I have a printout here of the work around for everything but the '/' partition. And they are working on that.

I had LOTS of other problems, (no XFS support, slab.c kernel panic, grub not installable, hunging at start, hunging at installation finish)
I am pretty upset and I feel like I have been let down by the SuSE team, I wasn't expecting such a mess from a German company
I CAN'T believe that nobody used XFS in the whole BETA team - it seems unbelievable!!!!
