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:

http://www.bogolinux.net/xfs_crash_a.JPG
http://www.bogolinux.net/xfs_crash_b.JPG

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


Not sure what that is offhand, seems odd.  xfs_mkdir() is getting some
error and cancelling a dirty transaction.  Perhaps someone on the list
remembers better than me, a few causes of this were fixed but I don't
remember details.  Any chance you can try, say, .28 or .29? :)

I'm not sure I can, because it's not a running system, where I can just recompile the kernel myself. It's the Slack installer, that comes as a bootable initrd.img.

Cheers,
Eddie
