grub and xfs

[Dennis Veatch]

I've noticed something about odd using xfs and grub. 

Normally I have partitions setup as swap, /boot (ext2), / and /home. For the 
longest time I have used reiserfs for all but of course swap. In 
the /boot/grub/menu.lst I have always used;

title   2.6.15-rc2
kernel  /2.6.15-rc2
root (hd0,2)

and never had a problem. So just for geewhiz on another box. I setup the same 
partition scheme but with / and /home as XFS. Using the same setup noted 
above in /boot/grub/menu.lst the system will not boot... it can't find root. 
However, leaving everything else the same and changing the kernel line to ;

kernel  /2.6.15-rc2 root=/dev/hda3

the system will boot. 

I do not know if this is a grub problem, an XFS problem or if there is 
something askew with our mount scripts.

Has anyone else seen this?
