I had the exact same thing happen twice. It ran every other file system
just fine, but XFS with one power failure and it was unbootable from
then on.
I don't know why I just know that I used Reiserfs after that and it
worked fine, even after power failures, lots of them too.
That said, nothing is perfect. A UPS is a good idea even if it can only
last long enough for a proper shutdown.
