Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
I just installed natty alpha 3 on a samsung NC10 netbook. When booting,
immediately after the grub screen I see the error message:
'sparse file not allowed.
press any key to continue'
after pressing any key the boot continues as normal.
This is with btrfs on / and a separate ext4 partition for /home. I had
created the btrfs partition manually (i.e. in a shell outside ubiquity)
simply running mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 and it was not reformatted in
ubiquity.
