   My machines are all using Ext4, and grub-legacy with no problems   
   whatsoever. The partitions on two were created with a Mandriva installer   
   - 2009.1, I think. (But I can't remember for sure.) The latest was   
   created with the Mageia 1 installer, on my Dell Dimension E310.   
      
   But I must say, Mageia is the only Linux I'm using these days. YMMV with   
   another distro.
