Bug Description
Ubuntu Hoary Preview Edition
Grub or lilo cannot write to the root directory if it is formatted as an XFS
partition. Given that this seems to be a known problem, the installer should
warn you against creating an XFS root partition until the issue is fixed.
To post a comment you must log in.
The installer automatically uses lilo in that case (thus, no grub-installer
bug), and lilo seems to work perfectly fine for me. Please elaborate on your
problems with lilo.
