Fedora 11 Install Error (Won't let me use EXT3 or 4)
I am trying to install Fedora 11 in Virtual Box using the Live CD.
When I try to format with EXT4 (Default) it says the boot volume cannot be EXT4, when I try EXT3 it says it doesn't match the Live filesystem.
This is retarded it won't let me use either. (I don't usually throw around the word retarded, only in rare cases and this is one)

Hello mpg187,
The LiveCD is less flexible than the other installation media concerning the partition layout. I don't like to install from the LiveCD, but I have done it before. Anyway, I don't know anything any more specific than that about what the Fedora 12 LiveCD will or will not do for partitions. If it will let you do it, try creating a small ext3 boot partition and then your ext4 root partition and swap. Or, as a last resort, take the default layout (which I also don't know anything about). It might be an LVM layout.

The LiveCD has a custom partitioning selection in the dropdown list on the screen that show the disk used for installation.
If you select custom and then Next button,
the disk druid will let you do anything with partitions and/ or LVM.

P. S. F11 can not use ext4 for /boot because the grub can not access ext4 in F11 release..

At first I used automatic, it had an error installing.
I then did use custom, and that's where I I got errors.
Now I went to custom and make an ext3 partition for /boot and made an ext4 for / (Before I just had / and the boot partition was on the same partition as /)

The install was sucessful, but when I reboot it says
