Ah, so it looks like the superblock is in fact bad; you could try
xfs_db /dev/hdawhatever, then do

xfs_db> sb 0
xfs_db> p

and see what it says.

However, this is really -ancient- xfs code, if it matches the kernel
(linux-2.4.14-xfs) so debugging it will be tough (read: no time
hehre to debug ancient codebase problems that have probably been
fixed by now).

OTOH you can probably hack the box to run something more recent... :)
