You're welcome

I'm pretty sure that you have this text (or similar) in shell.log or
have a look at bug #246111.


=====   shell: GRUB/10-setup   =====
fcopy: copied /fai/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/GRUB to /tmp/target/boot/grub/menu.lst
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Due to a bug in xfs_freeze, the following command might produce a segmentation
fault when /tmp/target/boot/grub is not in an XFS filesystem. This error is harmless and
can be ignored.
xfs_freeze: specified file ["/tmp/target/boot/grub"] is not on an XFS filesystem
