Now grub stage 1.5 does not support ext4, therefore ext4 can not be used as boot partition. I plan to register a SOC project and act as mentor to promote ext4 on grub/grub2. NOTE, this is an ext4 project other than grub project, because grub legacy is only maintained by each distribution and grub2 maintainer does not appreciate to port code from Linux kernel. Do you have any suggestion, feedback or concern on this SOC project ? -- Coly Li SuSE PRC Labs
