We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Please can you check if this bug still applies there, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

I've noticed something about odd using xfs and grub. The distro is Lunar-Linux and does not seem to be constrained to kernel-2.6.15-rc2.

Normally I have partitions setup as swap, /boot (ext2), / and /home. For the longest time I have used reiserfs for all but swap and /boot. In
the /boot/grub/menu.lst I have always used;

title   2.6.15-rc2
kernel  /2.6.15-rc2
root (hd0,2)

and never had a problem. So just for geewhiz on another box. I setup the same partition scheme but with / and /home as XFS. Using the same setup noted above in /boot/grub/menu.lst the system will not boot... it can't find root. However, leaving everything else the same and changing the kernel line to ;

kernel  /2.6.15-rc2 root=/dev/hda3

the system will boot.

I do not know if this is a grub problem, an XFS problem or if there is
something askew with my mount scripts.

Has anyone else seen this?
