It’s normally a bootloader compatibility issue but since we switched many architectures over to GRUB where possible, it might no longer be necessary to use ext2 for /boot.

I will have to go through the list of bootloaders currently in use and I’ll let you know.

I’m currently not at home, so I can’t to that right now. But I can do that tomorrow evening.
