Congratulations!
You are the first one to try to actually run at all with XFS as the root
partitition. I'm guessing that you set-up the root and
then tried to reboot with a different kernel pointing at
the XFS root. Right?
See our work items list in oss.sgi.com/project/xfs/todos.html
Have you tried XFS as /usr? This would be a good first step.
Thanks,
Jim
