We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need
to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Also
you reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing
information, and
katsiki, your problem is slightly different. I guess you installed with
the internal drive enabled and then disabled it? The numbering of the
drives changed and if grub tries to boot Ubuntu from (hd1) it is
probably (hd0) now that the internal drive is disabled. Try modifing the
root (hdX,Y) line
I'm a n00b to Ubuntu and ASUS EEE PC. I tried booting Hardy 8.04 Beta
CDROM to install Linux to an external WD 250 GB USB hard drive from a
brand new ASUS EEE 2GB Surf PC. When I boot the USB drive, I get the
grub boot menu, then the error, Error 15: File not found. At least on
Ubuntu 7.10, on
Thank you for your bug reports. As the bug seems to have been reported
on Edgy and Feisty and we are now with a new release, can you confirm
this bug with Ubuntu Hardy (beta)? Thanks in advance.

Edgy: install to USB drive
I don't remember seeing that option. Possible that I missed it. Even
if it's there, the installer should warn the user that he's about to
overwrite his boot loader, rendering the existing Windows installation
unable to boot.

Edgy: install to USB drive leaves system unbootable
IMHO, the default disk for writing the boot loader should be the disk
that you are installing to. Can you please check if this is the case
with Hardy?

Oops, I just realized that the terminology I used in my previous comment
might not be correct. I think what's being written is the master boot
record (MBR), not the boot loader. The Ubuntu installer most likely
does write the boot loader to the USB drive, but it overwrites the MBR
on the
Ok. I think it should not install MBR to (or touch in any way) any other
disk than the one you're installing to, by default.

Bugs,
Isn't there an option now under Advanced on the last page of the
Ubiquity desktop installer to choose where grub should be installed?
BTW, don't nominate for Hardy as long as the current development version
is Hardy. If the bug is open, it means it has not been fixed yet.

Edgy: install to
I hit this same problem with 7.1. The only way I found to avoid
overwriting the original MBR was to remove the internal drive in my
laptop while installing Ubuntu. I think this is a pretty serious bug,
especially because the user doesn't know his system won't boot until
it's too late.
If anyone
The File not found error is probably due to an incorrect root=
parameter. maybe you should try editing the grub configuration by typing
'e' and set teh root to /dev/sda1 or whatever (USB drives start with
sda).
Also, the ability to choose where GRUB is installed is not available in
the normal CD.

No, actually the File not found error in this instance is due to the
installer using the wrong device.map parameters. Nothing at run time
could recover from this (I know Grub inside and out), short of redoing
grub-install with a fixed device.map.
The Edgy installer put grub onto the wrong
Oh, I should add though, that apart from this one rather serious kink
with the installer, everything else is fantastic on the external drive!
Edge can suspend to RAM, hibernate, resume etc.. all just perfectly,
without me having to tweak anything else (other than fixing the GRUB
install).
