Comments/Problems:
At last, I can use XFS on that PC :)
But there is a problem with GRUB.
In fact, the hard drive is a little too big for the motherboard, and
even when I could format it (there were also problems with partman
before), GRUB completely messed all.
Now, GRUB installation simply aborts and I can install LILO... which
works. Maybe the user should be asked which bootloader to install.
