Hi David -
I don't recall offhand what type of recovery changes have been made
since 1.0.1... that was quite a while ago. You might try a more recent
kernel*, and see if recovery goes better. As a last resort, you could
use a rescue disk and a recent xfs_repair with the "-L" option to zero
the log - of course you will lose anything in the log, which could cause
file/data loss.
Let's see if anyone else has better suggestions before you try that
drastic step...

*booting the 1.0.2 installer in "rescue" mode will get you a 2.4.7
kernel, for example.
