Hi! :-) Done! Nothing changed. Grub still trying to read from floppy. However, the screen output at image restoration from live cd was different this time: Cloned succesfully/ Time elapsed....(some statistic numbers here, 152.05sec etc.) Finished unicast restoring image ubuntu to /dev/sda1. ****** Restoring the first 446 bytes at MBR data for sda....done! ****** EXT4-FS: barriers enabled Kjournal d2 starting: pid 5043, dev sda 1:8, commit interval 5 sec.

EXT4-FS: delayed allocation enabled EXT4-FS: file extents enabled EXT4-FS: mballoc enabled EXT4-FS: mounted filesystem sda1 with ordered data mode Running Well, that's it! Here stopped and nothing else happened (no screen or disk activity). Then, after passing ~10 minutes, I pressed ctrl-alt-del. Then followed the term signal, flashing reboot etc. Sigh! :-( I was reading today some pages for ext4 fs. I read at ext4 wiki, that installing grub on an ext4 partition is not recommended. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I've done! :-( Ubuntu uses a patch to boot from ext4, and I have the suspicion that maybe this is the reason for my grub problems. The exact text is: "Right now there's not a stable version of grub that supports booting a kernel from a ext4 partition. It's recommended that you keep /boot in a ext3 partition. . . . The grub package in Ubuntu 9.04 and later includes a patch to support booting from ext4 filesystems (see bug 314350)." The page is there: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto I think that the problem is the ext4 grub ubuntu patch. If so, I'm thinking to roll back to ext3.
