In that case i would test the following:
Supply the xfs driver on the  kernel command line for the network boot kernel 
or supply it via a info file.
Also check that the xfs driver is within the initrd . Not that in your case the 
XFS driver gets loaded during the autoyast installation which i assume as to be 
to late.

It works with ext3.  With the same profile, grub installation hangs when 
root is an xfs file system, but dosn't when it's ext3.  The lsmod 
command shows that the autoinst kernel has the xfs modules loaded.

Thanks,
Gary
