From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040301 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: If I use the "xfs" option, partition with "/" as XFS, and do not set up a separate "/boot", then anaconda (or booty) tracebacks when installing grub. The traceback actually percolates up from booty, but I don't know whether booty or anaconda is ultimately the guilty party. I have looked at the other bug reports regarding grub installation with XFS and AFAICT my symptoms are different so I'm guessing it's truly a different bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.93-0.20040430011915 booty-0.36-1.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot installer with "xfs" option. 2. In Disk Druid, format "/" partition as XFS. (If you have a separate "/boot", then format that as XFS, but I didn't test that scenario.) 3. Attempt to finish the install as normal. Actual Results: When it attempts to install grub, I get the traceback which I will be attaching in the next hour or so. (I have a traceback, but I saved it onto a 720K floppy and mdir says "0 bytes free" so I want to reproduce this bug again and make sure nothing was truncated. Expected Results: Install proceeds uneventfully. Additional info:
