If you want ext4 and grub2 support. You can can grab the kernel/initrd from
https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/sali to replace the kernel/initrd that your are
know using.
We us a post-installation script that determines if we must use grub1 or grub2:
{{{

echo "setting up grub: running grub.."

if [ -e "/etc/default/grub" ]
then
echo "Using GRUB2 install method! :: $DISK0"
echo "grub-install --no-floppy $DISK0"
grub-install --no-floppy $DISK0

echo "This command can take while..."
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

grub --batch <<EOF
