Public bug reported:
I have tried installing Xubuntu and Ubuntu (both @ 6.10).
/boot of either ext2 or ext3
All others xfs, but swap of course
It will not continue installing, grumbling that root can not be xfs...
but that is exactly why I made /boot ext3!
With the Xubuntu installer: Thinking it might be ext2 related, I wipe
the disk and repartitioned with ext3 as /boot. xfs still is on the /boot
partition, but now ext3 is on the / partition! ;-)
With the Ubuntu installer, I was trying to install over Ubuntu 5.10, so
I had all partitions in place - just matched up the previous mount
points. /boot was ext3 in my Ubuntu 5.10 install, so I as well left that
as-was. Also refused to install.
All was well with Ubuntu 5.10 - but that was a text mode installer, so
probably getting bit by a new bug in the GUI installer.
