I've tried to reproduce this:
1. Installed Jaunty from daily build ISO of Wednesday 14th January 2009. 2. Installed with ext3 for / 3. Rebooted using the same live CD ISO image and then converted / to ext4 using:
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda1 fsck -pf /dev/sda1
4. Rebooted, grub detects an ext4 partition and boots correctly.
and also:
So this simple case of converting / to ext4 seems to work for me. Now I will try and re-create Dean's set up and retry.
