The only solution is a TOC refresh. Rebuilding is rather impossible now since there's no Xenosaga 2 extractor out. I personally use Devil May Cry 1 for TOC refreshing and never get any issues. You can find it cheap in game stores in the used section. I bought my copy for 10 dollars at my local EBGames.
Some people have reported DMC1 to not work with DVDLoader but I found a workaround to this issue. The trick is to put in a game DVDLoader works with the first time it asks for a disc, then press X. When it asks for the DVDR, instead of swapping, eject the game and put in DMC (also works with GTA:SA which has problems with DVDLoader too). The PS2 will read the TOC info automatically and should stop the disc about 5 seconds after. Now, you swap DMC for your Xenosaga 2 disc using whatever method you use and it should work flawlessly.
It's a small investment but you're almost guaranteed never need to worry about games not working due to TOC refresh issues. I haven't had problems with any game since I've been using DMC1 as my TOC refresh. Plus, it's a classic that everyone should have in their game library ;) lol
For Xenosaga 2 you can also use CogSwapLoader which has no problems with any games (I'm not aware of any game specific issue) when it comes to TOC refreshing. I personally use CogSwap most of the time and resort to DVDLoader if there's a game that requires a special booting option. Otherwise, CogSwap is quite compatible with games. I'd say just as much as DVDLoader. If it doesn't work with one it could possibly work with the other.
