Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
Ubuntu 9.10 Beta on a Dell E520N desktop grub2 installs to hd0 grub2 can boot partitions on hd0 when installed to hd0 (i.e. sda5 works fine) grub2 dies like a brick when Ubuntu 9.10 is installed to a partition on hd1 Super Grub Disk cannot recover it. To get back I install again this time to hd0. I can clone the partition (cp -a) from hd0 to hd1 then edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg to list the right UUID and hd1 partition and it boots to hd1. (I also edit /etc/fstab of the clone.) It's just the install that kills the PC. I see grub-install (hd0) displayed during installation. Expected results: install Ubuntu 9.10 to sdb6 and boot with Grub2 Results seen (and repeated): install to sdb6 then on reboot Grub2 dies, never even a menu, no grub> prompt, nothing. I use two hard drives with Linux OS partitions on both. My work-around is to keep an empty partition on hd0 install to it then "cp -a" to move it over to hd1. Creates new problem of /boot/grub/grub.cfg is stuck on hd0. ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- grub2 cannot boot partition on sdb (hd1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
