Hi,

It's not the machine. It's GRUB not being able to boot from ext4.

I'm reading this thread, but I actually don't understand.
I installed Milestone2, as by default, on a ext4 partition, and the system was
able to boot from it.

Why do you say that GRUB can not handle ext4?

The only problem I had, and that's why I reinstalled with ext3, was that my
opensuse 11.0 didn't want to start. It complained about some unknown options
on the filesystem.

Which leads me to the question:
Why is ext4 the default filesystem, if it still causes problems?

Isn't it better to keep a working default and work on the new version until
it's failsave before putting it as the new default?

Thanks
Karl
