I tried SLED10SP1B4 with XFS and I get the same issue. Then I tried with SLED10GA and I like the way it thinks. It won't even let me choose to install GRUB on the root partition if I use XFS, but when I select ReiserFS och ext3, I get the option to do it. So... My conclusion is that it's NOT possible to use XFS on an extended partition and have GRUB installed on it's root partition.
Coming in late to this discussion but do you have /boot on its own partition? I would think that putting /boot in its own partition with ext2 would solve the problem. The kernel and initrd can be loaded from the ext2 partition by grub and the rest is up to the kernel. I always have a separate /boot partition and it is always ext2. You don't need a fancy FS for /boot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
