Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic installs perfectly until rebooted, when it enters an infinite reboot loop just as GRUB loads. Have tried repairing grub with LiveCD - everything reports as being fixed, but then after reboot - same reboot loop. Fedora 12 installs and works without issue. Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Alpha 3(02-28-10) doesn't even detect the drive. SATA/RAID controller is Highpoint 370, motherboard is Shuttle AS45GT. This is an old motherboard, but it's just irritating that Fedora 12 with legacy grub installs without issue. Uwe Zeisberger describes a similar problem along with a fix (for legacy GRUB) at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2004-07/msg00113.html . The posting describes something about how the HPT370 overwrites the default GRUB storage area on the hdd, and about moving it.. But I'm not sure how to do this with GRUB2. I tried to email Uwe, but the email address doesn't work. Thanks for any answers you can provide.
