 I'm not. How old is your machine that it cannot boot from the root partition?

 What should be done here is to report the bug about the default filesystem 
being ext4 and grub not being able to boot from it (if this hasn't been 
reported yet). If a solution to that problem turns out to be defaulting 
ext2 /boot for the time being, ok, whatever, but workarounds should not be 
the default action.
