If you're installing from a livecd, you are constrainted in what you can
do. You have to make / be ext4 because the livecd's ext4 and we just
copy the filesystem over. But, grub can't boot off ext4 so you have to
make sure the partition holding /boot is ext3. So you need to make a
separate /boot partition and have it be ext3.
