guys, the main reason behind this problem is this f..cking Windows

first track of ur hard disk, in my case it was sector #48, other people

not the only reason. Yes, more popular, but not the only one.
But I've had it just one time in very specific conditions (see #29) and

Tried it again as proposed by calendros (thanks for reply). No Luck with
both variants always got 'cannot stat aufs'. Given up here. May be it is
something special in relation to lvm/cryptsetup used on this machine. On
my desktop system the same combination runs as expected.
A test installation
Because of this bug (9 months old and counting) I'm in another situation where
installing 11.04 on a HP laptop results in the infamous blank screen, i.e.
does not actually boot since there is nothing in the boot sector.
Boo.

I think it may be caused by the fact that grub-install does not know
where is the root directory (the partition where /boot/grub is located on).
maybe something like :
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt # where sdb1 is your root partition (or
boot partition if you have one)
sudo grub-install
Same problem here. initially attempted an upgrade install, which failed
spectacularly.
then attempted a clean install, same failure.

Most of the people affected by this bug are probably trying to do a
recovery install of GRUB from a live CD. The simple workaround (and, in
my view, the correct way to perform a recovery install!) is to chroot

do the usual mount --bind for /proc /dev /sys and chroot. From within
there, grub-install succeeded. However, there was no grub.cfg saved, so
you only get a plain grub commandline and have to specify linux/initrd
