That's really strange. It looks like a memory leak or something... I would suspect corrupt partition or bad hardware, but if it happens to multiple machines that seems highly unlikely. If you boot from a non-gentoo liveCD can you mount them without the oops? Perhaps you can file an XFS bug on http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/ or query the XFS mailing list: http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs Good luck, Paul
