An observation to Rotbart. Yes, it works fine when you install grub stage1 to the MBR. If you install stage1 to the root partition superblock, it fails. That's where the bug is. Why the partition superblock? That's the safest procedure if you have more than two OSs installed in the same system. You

Installing Hardy Alpha 6 on my old laptop, I used JFS for the root partition (including boot and home). The install went just fine, including GRUB - even update-grub (to get acpi=force enabled) just worked like expected. My desktop now boots from a JFS root as well... no problems so far. -- gr

Well, now I'm kind of speechless. :-0 How can it be, that a bug this severe, can hang around for more than 2years now and is still unfixed? I simply don't get it. On one hand, IBM's JFS gets ported to Linux, is still under active development, yet on the other hand, the FS is useless anyway, sinc

This problem, that the Desktop installer *always* fails to install GRUB on a separate /boot partition ((hd0,5) 24MB), formatted as JFS, as are most of my other ones besides a few HPFS, still exists in Feisty 7.04 and throughout all the Gutsy betas (#3 currently). I eventually succeeded, after se

I confirm this bug is still present in Feisty Beta 1 Alternate installer CD. During the install, I chose manual partitioning and selected an existing partition for reformatting as my root partition. Then at the question "Install bootloader to MBR?" I chose No, and instead said to install to /dev/s
