@migrax what you suggest isn't actually what we're doing - we're installing Lucid itself on a partition. Simpler things like booting a lucid live CD and just telling it to grub-install onto the maverick partition *don't* work (probably because some part of what that does actually comes from the target disk.)
When I tried this, none of the boot-from-memory-stick Maverick installs worked at all on the Vaio P (the Lucid ones worked fine, but the Maverick ones all failed to find the stick they were booted from) so I don't have a fast way of cycling through versions... otherwise, divide- and-conquer on the grub package history might be worth doing (and not actually need grub experience.) Hmm, maybe booting a Lucid stick and grub-install'ing the extra *lucid* partition might work, I'll give that a poke if this doesn't get anywhere... -- grub does not appear to load after maverick post-beta install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
