Comment 1 for bug 80765

Clarification:

Xubuntu 6.10 I was installing on a clean HDD. First selected ext2 for /boot. Upon finishing the partition setup, all partitions were xfs, including /boot. Later when I blew all the partitions away and selected ext3 for boot, then / was ext3 but /boot was still incorrectly xfs. Thus thought the installer complaining with /boot being xfs was a valid complaint, just we had not specified /boot be xfs.

Ubuntu 6.10 was tried on another machine, with existing Ubuntu 5.10 on it, thus no repartitioning was done. /boot was/is ext3, so even with non-xfs on /boot, the installer refuses to install.
