Hum, what was the exact error message? In my sources, I can see:
stg1_error_message("I can't find a valid filesystem (tried: ext2,
vfat, reiserfs).");

I suppose one day we'll need to also support install from NTFS
partition because of XP :/... but, as usual:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43365 Sep 20 18:52
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8248 Sep 20 18:52
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/fs/vfat/vfat.o.gz
Not even mentioning the fact that people has never put much
confidence in ntfs.o (hum, there even was a time when it
corrupted partitions mounted ro, isn't it?).
