If yes, this warning dialog should be changed. (I am > also curious about /boot on LVM, is that possible with the current > kernel Debian ships?) I suspect the only (remaining?) problem with LVM is putting /boot on lvm, which probably still does not work with grub. Apparently the initrd problems are fixed, so we should indeed change that test to only complain if /boot is on LVM (or root, if there is no separate /boot partition).
