Bug Description
I use the XFS filesystem and with Ubuntu "Edgy" I had to create a separate EXT3 partition for /boot because the installer (the "alternative" one) complained about GRUB being unable to work on a XFS partition. So... 32 MB are usually good enough for a simple /boot partition. However... now the "Distribution Upgrade" tool tells me there isn't enough available space on /boot to complete the upgrade path to Ubuntu Feisty. Maybe the "Distribution Upgrade" tool should save its "temp files" on the largest partition and not on the partition where there are the files to upgrade... or maybe the installer should warn about creating mount points on small partitions (< 64 MB for /boot ?).
Bye :-)
