Trying to install on my PC - that is already running Win-7. I added a 160 Gb
drive to take Ubuntu ("Bionic Beaver) and elected to install the software here
- /dev/sdd - and the boot partition is the existing 750 Gb boot drive for
Windows 7 - /dev/sda - as I want a dual boot system for the time
Dave's previous attempt (comments 34/35) broke because he had / on
/dev/sda6 but was attempting to install to the nonexistent (hd0,0)
(a.k.a. /dev/sda1). I then had an attempt that failed due to the
problem fixed in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/grub-
installer/ubuntu/revision/833
Just a confirmation on the above I have a booting system and all
hardware has been recognised and is functioning as expected :)

Dave,
The above syslog doesn't match the test case. It shows a grub install
to the disk instead of the partition ((hd0)), and says that /boot is
XFS - please test with JFS.

XFS is a special case, known to be broken in hardy for other and more
complicated reasons, but fixed in jaunty. See bug 8058.

I've posted a test case now that documents how to verify this fix for
8.04.4. Can someone please confirm that this fixes the problem?
Bela, I would suggest filing a separate bug report for the performance
regression you describe - which I don't think should block us from
including this update
Martin Colin,
I've analyzed a performance problem in `grub-probe` on my Karmic system,
in grub2, and found that it was caused by repeated BLKFLSBUF ioctls.
Each call takes about .5 second and the overall probe does the ioctl
dozens of times. Of course both of those factors will be different on
Oh, I should also mention that when I [binary] patched the `grub-probe`
binary to skip the BLKFLSBUF ioctls, everything else was _MUCH_ faster.
Transcript:
# export TIME=%e real %U user %S sys
# for what in fs fs_uuid drive device partmap; do
/usr/bin/time /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device
I've gone ahead and applied this patch to the hardy grub and uploaded to
hardy-proposed. Waiting for SRU processing now.

Colin, thank you very much for trouble shooting and finally coming up with a
fix for this long existing Ubuntu specific nuisance :-)
Looks like while composing my last reply, overlapped with your investigative
findings.

issue, but a problem with grub itself. Without putting a lot of effort
into archaeology, I don't know exactly why other systems didn't suffer

I just linked to a more or less identical Debian bug, thus proving that
this wasn't Ubuntu-specific. :-) I'll send my patch there.
