This is still an issue in Oneiric. Here is my case: * a computer with two hard-drives. One of the MBR of these is used to bottup normally * I introduced a USB stick with Kubuntu 11.04, booted from USB, and upgraded to Oneiric (11.10)
After the upgrade, the MBR in the HD of the desktop computer was now damaged, it would no longer boot from HD The fix was, as usual, to boot the HD partition from the USB's Grub, and then run grub-install /dev/sdX , where X was the appropriate value (either a or b). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496435 Title: upgrades of the grub-pc package can overwrite wrong MBR To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/496435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
