When booting up for the first time:

* several messages: /var/run/wtmp, /var/lock/subsys/kudzu, network,
ipchains: No such file or directory

* mounting local filesystems: device does not exist ==> several partitions
are not mounted.

* eth0: failed 

* Starting system logger ==> takes a LOT of time.

Al these problems do NOT occur if I simply install RH 7.1. It only happens
if I use XFS 1.0
