A few years ago I had trouble in booting a Linux box that did not have
Ext2 or Ext3 for the file system. True, I wasn't using a specific
/boot partition, just a / partition.

Can you now boot with a / partition in something other than Ext2 or
Ext3? Or is the approach to use a /boot partition in Ext2 or Ext3,
and then use whatever file system you want for / and the rest of the
partitions?

Best,
Stephen.

Yes, it might've been an issue in the past. Even /boot now is alright with NTFS!

With that said, however, either leave everything on one and the same format, or use a non-journalled fs on /boot. Why? Because a journalled fs on /boot does nothing and is wasted.
