same here on two systems. Did a reboot to test before reinstalling grub. |

I think the situation being warned about is one in which: |
| 31 |
a) /boot filesystem is added or is remade as ext2/ext3 with inode_size=256 |
| 32 |
and |
| 33 |
b) the failure to reinstall grub has left the old stages 1, (1.5), and 2 in |
| 34 |
place in the MBR which will fail to handle the inode_size=256 file system. |
