I think this problem might be caused by the existing grub multiboot partition being back-level compared to the expectations of the intrepid installer, but I don't know enough to investigate further. I noticed that when I merged the intrepid grub menu.lst boot lines back into my existing

In my case, it cannot be a question of the existing grub multiboot partition being back-level, because I install GRUB into the root partition that I'm creating. I even install the GRUB boot loader (stage1) into the Boot Block of the root partition (NOT in the Master Boot Block--I use a

So far as I know, the inode=256 issue is no longer significant. It was the way to deal with the problem when I first encountered it on intrepid alpha 4. With the intrepix release, again as far as know, there is ONLY one way to go forward. You must install a self-contained intrepid partition,
