Bug Description

I was trying install Kubuntu on my PC, but unfortunately I can't, because of BUG I think.

I downloaded Kubuntu Dapper 6.06 for desktops. I have Celeron 1,7GHz, Seagate Barrracuda IV 40Gb, 512 RAM, LiteON 52x,24x,52x and old graphic card... S3 Savage.

I was installing Kubuntu on /dev/hda1 with XFS file system. After files had installed on hard drive, and before GRUB instalation I had error message, and installation was interrupted.

I can run this system (using some tricks), but can't install grub and finish installation without errors. Installer is being crashed after file copying.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubiquity", line 130, in ?
    install(sys.argv[1])

Thanks for your report. You need to use a non-XFS root filesystem or create a non-XFS /boot filesystem. Bug 47848 is filed to note that the partitioner should warn you about this up-front.

(In future, please attach the whole of /var/log/installer/syslog rather than just a small part of it, although as it happens I don't need it here.)

Should be question about what we want to use ... GRUB or LILO.

LILO is system file independent, and also nice boot loader.

In the other hand we have XFS in Kubuntu kernel... why you don't want to patch GRUB to understand XFS.

I'd love to fix GRUB to understand XFS reliably, but you're saying that as though it's a trivial task. It's not. (GRUB already understands XFS, but the process of installing GRUB onto an XFS /boot filesystem is not reliable.)

Yes, GRUB is very hard to patch :) I remember my problems with reiser4.

LILO is good alternative to GRUB.

I'll install Kubuntu on JFS or try Kubuntu + lilo + XFS... I don't like too much partitions :)
