Installations performs well until it tries to install GRUB.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2004-04-11 18:42:09 UTC
Note that although this is here, xfs is still completely unsupported 

        # this is totally, 100% unsupported.  Boot with "linux xfs"
        # at the boot: prompt will let you make new xfs filesystems
        # in the installer.  Bugs filed when you use this will be closed
        # WONTFIX.
