Was this disk cleanly unmounted from the SGI box?

If the log is dirty linux won't be able to mount it since it will be
in the wrong endian format (well assuming you are using a
little endian linux box)

If you can cleanly mount and unmount on the sgi box
if that is not possible run xfs_repair -L to clear
the log. But not that will potentially loose important
file system info.
