Greetings and felicitations,
Um, this seems like a very weird situation. Not sure I believe what the message is telling me -- since it makes no sense to make such a backwards step. I say this from the perspective of burning an 11.1 x86_64 DVD and setting everything up, including a /boot partition with my file systems formatted in XFS. Yet I get a message that the system won't be able to boot because the /boot partition is formatted with XFS.
Is this a bogus install message (didn't seem to stop the install from starting/running)?
Do I have to go back to 11.0 or earlier to support XFS booting?
So what's up? Why am I getting this message. Do I install 10.3 where I can boot from XFS then run multiple updates (dunno about 11.0). Seems like a bassackwards way of obtain the the desire solution.
I started the install anyway, and decided/hoped I'd be able to fix the problem (otherwise, I'll be redoing the install :-))...
Any ideas why I'm seeing this odd message? Booting from XFS has been supported at least back to SuSE9 if not before.
Thanks, Linda
Linda, I don't know if anyone said, but I believe this issue is old. It is just the notification that is new. If the grub / xfs issue occurs, I think it is just a first time boot issue, not a data loss issue. So if you were able to install and get things working, then your golden and I don't think there is any reason to re-install. But one of these days you may have a new install fail because of a grub / xfs compatibility issue.
