I definitely have old filesystems which mount without issues. I suspect
you have a kernel configuration issue and the message you are getting
is not from XFS. If XFS fails to recognize the super block it prints
this:
XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed
Do you actually have xfs built into the new kernel?
