This is a recurrent problem.  xfs has never been properly supported in grub.

You think removing this code solves the problem, but we have received lots of
patches claiming to solve it and none of them did.  See the other bug logs.

If you really think you can provide a proper fix, send a *tested* patch to
grub-devel at gnu.org and ask for other people to test it.  But please use grub2
as the basis, since upstream has stopped supporting grub legacy and all your
effort would be nullified otherwise.

Thanks
