After figuring it out, I have ext3 /boot partition and the main one for F10 is ext4 :)

[root at riohigh ~]# fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order
[root at riohigh ~]# /sbin/blkid -s TYPE /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: TYPE="ext3"
[root at riohigh ~]# /sbin/blkid -s TYPE /dev/sda5
/dev/sda5: TYPE="ext4"
