Description Chris Murphy 2012-12-17 18:39:18 UTC
Description of problem:
The listing of the only supported file systems is incorrect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 17

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Installation_Guide/ch-grub.html

2. Bottom of the page "Important - Supported file systems"
  
Actual results:
Only ext[234] are supported.
Cannot use any other file system for /boot.

Expected results:
Does not apply. I have tested Fedora 17 and 18 with /boot on btrfs, XFS, FAT32, and HFS+ and all of them work.

Additional info:
There might be some limits to GRUB Legacy EFI, used in Fedora 17. XFS, FAT32, and HFS+ do work, unsure of Btrfs.

Simple fix is to remove the whole side bar.

Also a problem in draft Fedora 18 documentation.

Thanks for reporting this, Chris. I've removed all 3 instances of this admonition.
