Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: partman
steps to reproduce:
- have a setup with one hd with only windows installed (let's call it hda)
- have a usb stick on which you want to install ubuntu (let's call it sda)
- boot from live cd, install, choose automatic partitioning of sda ("geführte
partitionierung" in german)
- reboot with usb stick unplugged
- grub will want to load a stage2, of course unable to do so
solution:
grub should not be installed on partitions not selected
reason:
users rely on the installer not to touch disks it is not explicitly told to
touch and get very nervous when the system they rely on (for many people just
switching to ubuntu, this is still windows) does not work any more after
installing linux
workaround for windows not booting:
fdisk /dev/hda
set hda1 (the windows partition) as bootable
** Affects: partman (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
