I didn't notice that (hangs head in shame). I didn't alter it, so assume it did what you suggested. I'll go back and check, as it only takes a short time to re-install. Maybe the default should be set to the first hard disk. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992467 Title: Mythbuntu Fails to Install GRUB Correctly Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: New Bug description: I have two Acer Aspire Revos, which had a previous install of Mythbuntu. I installled Mythbunti 12.04, reformatting the / partition, but leaving /home. After installation GRUB couldn't find the installed kernel. However, if I booted with the usb stick that I used to install Mythbuntu inserted it booted OK. Note I was booting from the HD, not the USB stick. I am guessing that the installer wrote the GRUB info to the USB stick instead of the hard drive. Other info: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

I kept /dev/sda3 as home (ie not reformatted).
