grub-install absolutely seems to work on start=2048 MBR disks in my
experience.
Also current Ubuntu BIOS setups use GPT with a BIOS boot partition which
gives plenty of space for GRUB core.

Had to reinstall Kubuntu 19.10. Used BTRFS for root on a 1TB SSD. Grub-
install fails. I think this bug is regressed.

No, I am complaining about the fact that I had a perfectly working
ubuntu server which stopped booting after upgrading. That is a bad thing
for an operating system. This should not happen.

@Javier: I don't think it is a bug per se. And definitely not ubuntu
related. GRUB2 is complex piece of sotfware that keeps developing. I
don't quite understand how they managed to put ext2 mounting and
kernel+initrd loading into mere 31744 bytes back then. You aren't
complaining you can't install
@Arie: thank you, but I hoped that a software issue could be resolved without
the need of
additional hardware (I don't have a bigger drive right now). But I can survive:
I can boot
from a live USB with Super Grub2. Anyway, I think that such gross errors should
not
take place in an upgrade.
@Javier: Take a bigger drive, format it with first partition starting at
sector 2048 and transfer partitions content. Then you will have enough
space to fit GRUB bootloader into.

I finally upgraded my 12.04LTS server to 14.04LTS last week, and I
really regret having done this. I am suprised this bug is considered as
unimportant, when it completelly spoils the booting system. Nothing
seems to work.

Your issue is unrelated to this bug Chris. You must have used GPT on
the disk in the past, and used fdisk to write a new MBR, leaving parts
of the GPT behind.

You're not making sense. 2 MB is 4096 sectors. The default start
location for the last several years has been sector 2048, or 1 MB, which
leaves plenty of room for the core to fit.

I think the installer should be added to this bug. What is the name of
the package that will install ubuntu? Or partition tool?
I do not know well the technical details of the problem but I agree with
cryo-rebirth .. the installer or partitioner should warn when a
partition BtrFS is used and is

Actually, Phillip, BtrFS requires 2MB for a Grub2 installation. So, while you
are correct that it does start at 1MB, the partitioner does have an error in
not including that the rules for BtrFS are different. The normal 1MB is a part
of the normal MBR rules. Since Grub2 requires some extra
Ok I reinstall, format the root / partition with the ext4 file system.
If you still have not found the solution, the installer should warn
about.this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-
