XFS does not support booting from partition - it does not have any place to put boot block into.
I thought that had been solved ages ago. :-?
Solved what exactly? The first sector in XFS partition cannot be used and grub2 installs boot sector in the first sector of partition. So it cannot install boot sector on XFS partition. ...
Now there is a line where to type the "custom boot partition". It is possible that YaST did not write the grub images at all anywhere.
This is a bug. Installer should not offer XFS for first stage install. Please open bug report.
Installer did not offer anything at all except MBR.
So installer behaved correctly.
I had to type the entry.
Well, it does not change the fact that you cannot install grub2 on XFS partition. I expect installer to at least warn you at this point. Which turns it into feature request. I have photos of the sequence. Maybe I can email them to you, off
list, so that you understand what happened?
I do understand what happened.
