ext4 with fc11

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Could you confirm that fedora 11 cannot boot on an ext4 partition ?
(/ has to be ext3 ?).
what about fedora 12 ?

Thank.

I think the restriction was that /boot could not be ext4. So if you
created /boot as ext3, but / as ext4 then that was fine. I currently
have /boot as ext3 on F13, so F12 and F11 would no doubt have the same
restriction.

Well, I have installed F13 on two machines with /boot as ext4. No 
problem here.

As of F12, /boot can be an ext4 partition or a directory on an ext4 partition.
