Hi Christian -

I'm not sure that it has anything to do with the XFS modifications...
it's saying that it's unable to set the root password.  How did you set
up your filesystems?  Is there any reason that usermod wouldn't be able
to modify /etc/password...?

Your system may be mostly installed anyway; if you reboot the installer
and type "linux rescue", then set your root password, you might have a
mostly useable system, depending on how much other configuration was
going to be done after the crash.

-Eric
