Thanks to you all for the help.
I tried xfree86config and made a mess. I tried to update with cd1 and setup the xfree86 server - it crashed again. Finally I followed the steps Kwan proposed:
xfs was dead but xfs.pid existed
I deleted the xfs.pid and restarted the xfs - it crashed again.
I reinstalled the package xfsprogs....... and hit a reboot. Voila! Finally a success.
You have all been very helpful and for the time being everything is just fine *let's hope it will be this way and in the future).

Make sure the the xfs server is running:
[root@omicron root]# service xfs status
xfs (pid 1560) is running...
If it's not, restart it. If you get an error about "subsys locked", try
deleting the /var/run/xfs.pid then restarting xfs with:
[root@omicron root]# service xfs start
If it doesn't restart properly, try reinstalling the xfs package in
case it has gotten corrupted.
