When the system went to reboot, grub worked, got the kernel going but then the kernel paniced because it does not support XFS. Not sure what is up with that. During the installation process came across two difficulties: 1. exim4-config (4.30-4) ran it came up with this error message: hostname: Unknown host 2. Installing grub did not go smoothly on the first try. After 10 minutes of waiting I timed out and kill the process. Then tried again and grub installed successfully and quickly. I'm going to try using reiser next. Thank you.

As a result when grub installer tries to find the kernel image it is still not in the place. For now the installer will warn if the /boot directory is in xfs file system until we found a better solution. > 1. exim4-config (4.30-4) ran it came up with this error message: > hostname: Unknown host You will receive a separate notification for this problem.
