The problem was still there after upgrading to 16.04LTS. I fixed it by first reinstalling the windows MBR, then reinstalling grub2-2.02. Strange but solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Three years after the original post, using now xubuntu 13.04 Raring and a SATA only computer, I do not experience the issue anymore. On my previous computer, I had a motherboard PATA interface, with the boot disk, and a PCI to SATA card, with a second disk. For this computer, sda and sdb tend to

Ridgeland, Thanks for taking some time answering this. In fact, as far as I remember, the stock grub.cfg uses UUID as well, so the system boots, whatever the order of the drives. Using UUID everywhere would not matter, except when I need to pass option via the kernel boot options to the libata

I had the same issue, where the installer choose the wrong disk to write grub2's MBR to. I believe this is linked to Bug #569645: the system assign names to disk (sda, sdb, etc) in a random order (to save boot time, as I understand). So sda is not always the boot disk (as defined in the BIOS).

Same here. The system disk (should be sda) is connected to the motherboard IDE port. A secondary disk (should be sdb) is connected to a SATA controler on a PCI card. I need to pass kernel options to libata, because the 80c cable is not recognised, and the SATA controler is a VIA VT6421, to
