Did you make any other changes?

Is support for XFS a kernel module or compiled into the kernel for your
system?
If it's a module, make sure that it is being loaded at boot time.

I would guess that the kernel doesn't know how to mount the vfat and xfs
partitions, and can only find support for the reiserfs one.
