Comment 6 for bug 80765

I believe I have just run into this same bug while trying to install Kubuntu 6.10. I can reproduce the problem starting with a blank hard drive, and creating three partitions during installation:

/boot using ext2
linux-swap
/ using xfs

Using this layout, it will not let me proceed past the screen where you assign mount points to the partitions; complaining [erroneously] that "XFS may not be used on the filesystem containing /boot. Either use a different filesystem for / or create a non-XFS filesystem for /boot".

I am attaching syslog and partman from when I tried this configuration and was prevented from continuing with installation.
