Thanks for your report. This is also bug 46764. As a workaround, use a non-XFS root filesystem, or create a non-XFS /boot partition; grub doesn't cope reliably with being installed to XFS on many systems.

I believe this is the same for my report. I was trying to create and use a XFS file system too.
