Package: grub
Severity: important

Dear Sir,

Grub2 cannot boot on JFS partition:
part1 JFS /
part2 SWAP swap

and here it is : 

device mapper error, 
no way to install grub-installer (hd0)

You can even try mannually, too same error.

Grub-gives at boot error 5

forget lilo alternative it too doesnt like JFS apparently.

Please a support as soon as possible, since JFS is more stable and very much more reliable than EXT4.

Best regards
Yellow
