Thankyou Shailendra for the response.
With further experiment, I went on to disable to ACPI in the kernel
config and rebuild and booted successfully with XFS (without ACPI).
Don't know how true it is, but many people are saying that DELL have an
error prone ACPI firware and not work well with Linux in many cases.
Any comments for discussion.
Thanks
Jose

Hi Jose,
Your configuration doe not appear to be saved. You are saying
that you have selected XFS, however boot messages is clearly showing
that the file system type is 0x83.
Did you rebuilt the initrd image ?
