I have machines with multiple operating systems, and use a "master" GRUB in its own small partition with the boot code in the MBR, and a "slave" GRUB embedded in each operating system's boot partition. I don't know if this is still true (the message is quite old), but it's why I've always used a separate ext2 /boot partition in that scenario. http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg10770.html "As we all know, you cannot install grub into an XFS partition because the XFS superblock is in sector 0 of the partition." -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."
