Comment 29 for bug 260001

So far as I know, the inode=256 issue is no longer significant. It was the way to deal with the problem when I first encountered it on intrepid alpha 4.

With the intrepix release, again as far as know, there is ONLY one way to go forward. You must install a self-contained intrepid partition, complete with its own /boot with grub installed. This zaps your partition table so only intrepid (and perhaps windoze) will boot. You then have to manually re-activate the multi-boot partiton that you used previously and merge the intrepid entries into menu.lst. (refer to my attachment http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19176065/multiBoot.txt).
