Package: debian-installer-demo
Version: Beta 3
Severity: important
I don't know whether this bug affects the general debian-installer,
Here's the situation:
- Using a Debian-Installer Beta 3 in installed a new testing (mainly to
get kernel with xfs support)
- Some repartitioning, and formatting. / is ext3, /var,/usr, /home are
xfs.
- More or less default installation, with formatting of / /var and /usr
- GRUB is installed on system and works fine.
Later on:
- Service boot using a current knoppix (Cebit Edition 0.4)
- Backup /, format partition using XFS, Restore /
The reboot then caused the system to hand with an error (70), probably
because it can no longer access XFS.
Possible way out:
- If XFS on root is used, install lilo instead of grub.
So please look into it
yours

The Debian installer has a guard against XFS being used for the root
filesystem with grub.
But you installed with an ext3 root partitoon using the Debian-installer,
and then used third party tools (knoppix, etc) to change / over to XFS.
This is your own problem, there is nothing d-i can do to prevent you
