Bug Description
When I installed Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4 (Jaunty) off the LiveCD, it allowed me to mount everything, including /boot on XFS, I assumed that Grub had stopped being stupid in Ubuntu and finally allowed you to boot off XFS, and proceeded to install, the installer of course bombed out with failure to install Grub.
There's really no reason Grub cannot boot XFS, Mandriva 2009 can do it for example, but if Grub has to be stupid, the user should be warned.
