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
    

That's bizarre. Can you provide a xfs_metadump image of the fs after
the shutdown has occurred?
I can try, but it's kinda difficult, as this happens in a VM, where I don't have a filesystem to capture the data to, or any "communication" to the "outside world" to transfer it out.  But, hey, that's what challenges are all about.

Cheers,
Eddie
Cheers,

Dave.
