problems showing up as XFS problems on kernels after 2.6.28-git2

Quoting Christoph Hellwig (hch at infradead.org):
> And error when compiling the kernel or you got the same error again?

same error while trying to boot (this time on sda (pata with libata))
root filesystem of the OS partition.

> In case you can actually reproduce this error, I would be very

See the errorlog on: http://www.dth.net/kernel/c3/netconsole_2.6.28-git9-error.txt

kernel tree is still on my laptop available.

ok, pointer to a howto by anychange ?
still looking/googling. [think i found something]

Will compile a new kernel in the mean time with those 2 options:
CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG & CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
