Are there any good reasons why there cannot be supported boot configurations :
1) Normal partitions or RAID1, / ext3/ext4 with /boot sub-directory
Shouldn't be a problem.
2) Normal partitons or RAID1, / "exotic" file system, with /boot small ext2/ext3/ext4 partition
Ditto.
3) ReiserFS, currently somewhat broken; fix desireable 4) LVM, currently "exotic"; direct support desirable 5) btrfs, currently "exotic"; direct support desirable

With Installer warning when a possibly broken boot partition is chosen by the expert user.
Hmm, do we need to warn the _expert_ user?
lilo - http://freshmeat.net/projects/lilo/ * static - uses map files * confused end users even when it was most popular boot method - poor diagnostics on failure - poor recovery on failure - less friendly config file than GRUB 0.97

Let me add some positive points: * just works, hardly ever fails. * easy text-file config * tried and tested. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
