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?


that's the unpatched grub.


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?


It does not in openSUSE ;). Since 11.1 grub handles ext4 thanks to a GSoC
project that openSUSE did, so everything should be fine here.

O.K. Fine. We're cool :)
