I experienced the same thing, also after a forced reset (APM standby locked 
the machine) and also with XFS (Kernel 2.4.20)

XFS is a little bit weird anyway, after both resets I was forced into so far, 
it wouldn't mount the root file system but after repairing it from a Rescue 
CD, it automatically repairs all other mounted filesystems.
Pretty useless.

Cheers,
Kevin
