From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: If /boot is using the XFS filesystem, then anaconda (or more appropriately, grub) hangs, using 99% of the CPU when trying to write to the MBR. This bug just won't die. It existed in FC2 and FC3 and still exists in FC4. For the love of jebus, *please* can someone please fix this? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install with all filesystems as XFS 2. When grub is getting written to the MBR, it will hang, and CPU usage hits 99% indefinitely Actual Results: After the reboot, the system comes to a grub prompt FC4 is bootable if you manually enter the 'kernel /vmlinuz-...blah blah' command Expected Results: Installing on XFS results in a fully bootable system that doesn't require inside knowledge of grub. Additional info:
xfs is completely unsupported.
Huh??? Why are you shipping a kernel that includes XFS as a filesystem if its "completely unsupported"? How about removing XFS from the kernel if you don't want to support it. What else in FC4 is 'completely unsupported' yet is shipping?
