I didn't knew XFS was included in SuSE 7.3, maybe SuSE has a updated kernel 
with XFS which gives less problems. Since there are no error messages it 
makes debugging the thing slightly harder.

Does anyone from SuSE know if you ever shipped a kernel with XFS support?

You can get the instructions here:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cvs_download.html

Although that does mean you need to compile your own kernel. Are you 
familiar with compiling your own kernel?
