I can second this problem. I was faced with this dialogue twice during the install, and it was not clear what the path forward was for me. The options of "Back" and "Forward" don't give any idea as to what to do. The first time, I hit "Forward," with the impression that the LILO bootloader would be installed instead of GRUB. By the context of the dialogue:
"Grub won't work in xfs filesystems. Do you want to use LILO instead?" (roughly) This seems to be a logical conclusion. But I had a problem of not being able to boot in the end. On second attempt, I hit the "Back" option. This time, I was expecting some way to change the bootloader to LILO on the previous screen. None was found. So I used the workaround mentioned above and made a 250MB /boot partition using ext3. Suggested solution: Add LILO option to the partitioner, and change the dialogue to act: "Grub won't work in XFS filesystems. Do you want to install LILO instead?" Answers: "Yes" or "Back" "Yes" should proceed to install LILO as bootloader. -- failed grub/lilo support for xfs filesystem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
