Hi Robert -

Did you use this patch on SuSE's kernel source tree?

Merging XFS into a tree such as SuSE's, Red Hat's, Mandrake's, or Alan
Cox's is a non-trivial exercise...

I'd suggest using a "vanilla" Linux kernel with an XFS patch, unless
there is something in the SuSE kernel that you really need...
