Hi,

I installed F9 on an ext4 partition (/ and /home) - GRUB does not
start properly, it stops after printing "GRUB" on the screen. Does F9
GRUB support such configuration?

Regards,
Michal

Grub doesn't support ext4, you need to have a seperate /boot that is in a supported format such as ext3. Our friends in the openSUSE camp have a Google Summer of Code student working on this:

Grub won't work on an ext4dev filesystem, and I thought anaconda would
prevent you from putting /boot on ext4. It didn't?

You'll need to make /boot ext2 or ext3.
