Re: Grub won't install

I gave up on GRUB a long time ago, and strongly recommend Extlinux. Except that Extlinux doesn't support /boot on LVM (it supports Ext*, FAT, iso9660, btrfs, perhaps one or two others), so my solution is: Don't do that; I always use a separate /boot.

IMO it's a bad idea to add unnecessary complications to /boot regardless of what bootloader you're using -- because when it inevitably breaks, the jigsaw puzzle is easier.
