I'm trying to install a clean Slackware 12.2 (2.6.27.7) under ESXi, and
can almost guarantee getting this error immediately after formatting the

The sequence of commands, after digging through the install scripts,
that lead to this failure are just:
mkfs.xfs
mount
mkdir
Apologies for posting the stack trace as a couple of jpg's, but it's the
only way I could capture them, as I don't have any VMs set up, yet, that
have conectivity to upload any files. The stack trace can be found at:

I'm guessing that it's something to do with this running under a VM, but
is there any way to stop it happening.

Not sure what that is offhand, seems odd. xfs_mkdir() is getting some
error and cancelling a dirty transaction. Perhaps someone on the list
remembers better than me, a few causes of this were fixed but I don't
remember details. Any chance you can try, say, .28 or .29? :)
I'm not sure I can, because it's not a running system, where I can just
recompile the kernel myself. It's the Slack installer, that comes as a
bootable initrd.img.
Cheers,
Eddie
