XFS internal error xfs_trans_cancel at line 1164 of file fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c

[Eddie Atherton]

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 
root partition.  It's happened 4 out of the 5 times I've tried, so far.

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.

Cheers,
Eddie
