Details:

I've noticed something about odd using xfs and grub. The distro is
Lunar-Linux and does not seem to be constrained to kernel-2.6.15-rc2.

Normally I have partitions setup as swap, /boot (ext2), / and /home. For the
longest time I have used reiserfs for all but swap and /boot. In 
the /boot/grub/menu.lst I have always used;

title   2.6.15-rc2
kernel  /2.6.15-rc2
root (hd0,2)

and never had a problem. So just for geewhiz on another box. I setup the same
partition scheme but with / and /home as XFS. Using the same setup noted above
in /boot/grub/menu.lst the system will not boot... it can't find root.
However, leaving everything else the same and changing the kernel line to ;

kernel  /2.6.15-rc2 root=/dev/hda3

the system will boot. 

I do not know if this is a grub problem, an XFS problem or if there is 
something askew with my mount scripts.

Has anyone else seen this?
