The only caveat I know about is that you can't have the boot loader on
a partition with XFS, and reading the FAQ it only seems to affect LILO
and not GRUB
(http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_Does_LILO_work_with_XFS.3F).
If you installed GRUB in MBR there should be no problem, assuming you
have the proper filesystem support installed. (see the *stage1_5 files
in /boot/grub).
That said I usually make a small ext3 /boot partition anyway.
