First, the silly question... you're booting off the XFS CD, right?

Is there anything exotic about your setup?  md, lvm, etc?  Can you
double-check the partition types of your xfs filesystems (should be type
83)?  Do any of the other virtual consoles report anything useful before
the failure?

Thanks,
