--- Comment #2 from Dave Chinner <david at fromorbit.com> ---
That's a os-prober bug - it;'s trying to mount a device that does not contain
an xfs filesystem as XFS.

The error message you are seeing is not a kernel panic - it's XFS complaining
about a filesystem corruption. That's not surprising because it's not an XFs
filesystem that is on the device os-prober is trying to mount.

os-prober is doing something actively dangerous - it can corrupt filesystems if
it finds stale superblocks at the stale of block devices. I'm speaking from
experience here - I purged grub2 from my all my systems the moment I discovered
that my RAID devices were being corrupted by os-prober doing this....
