Testing with latest RC Classical Installer on a real hardware. If i use btrfs for root partition, installer doesn't warn about grub issue that it can not boot into a btrfs root. After install, grub can not determine what filesystem is the root partition and enters into rescue mode. Re-formatting root partition as ext4 solves this problem. Didn't try a separate /boot partition. We should either use grub2 by default or installer should warn and offer creating a separate ext4 formatted /boot partition. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

I think this is topic for errata and we should not change how installer works. RC is out and there is not too much time to test this.

(In reply to Sander Lepik from comment #1) I agree. I wonder if this is reproducible for live isos...

If added in errata, then we can leave that bug opened to get it fixed after release but decrease priority

A related issue is that btrfs is set as the default type for a created partition. Also, even if you specify ext4 when creating a partition, if you exit without formatting and re-enter diskdrake, the type has been reset to btrfs.
