What I didn't get is:
- partition layout
If /boot is on ext4, it's expected that it fail since grub2 isn't
suppose to have ext4 support/testing yet however if it isn't, the
grub2 isn't really involved since the kernel itself handles it
later.
- why tag it critical?
ext4 is still a development filesystem with changing data format on
disk and I doubt someone will be willing to work on grub2 support
while it's in this state;
- there's any other bootloader that works with it?
