Currently the filesystem blocksize must be the same as the
page size.  Your original kernel would have had a 4K page
size, but your Alpha kernel has an 8K pagesize.

You can xfsdump, mkfs, xfsrestore to workaround this, or wait
a little while longer until the multiple blocksize support is
complete.

cheers.
