As you may know, default 13.2 installs BTRFS on /.
GRUB2 BTRFS driver is pretty large and do not fit on some small first sectors free space, one can find on old XP computers.
Please do recall you have options. No-one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use btrFS. The constraints of older machines, lacking BIOS capability, lacking certain instructions, lacking cores, lacking memory and disk space, can still run less demanding file systems and boot methods. You can still install with a root FS of ext2, ext3, or ext4 (or even ReiserFS). So while I congratulate you on your success and do note it, I'd like to remind all and sundry of the "bleedin' obvious, aint it?" that relaxing requirements can avoid a battle, that BtrFs was not included to vex and challenge us.
