I didn't ignore it: I said that on upgrade ( which is what you seem to be talking about ) it uses the same location you originally chose when you first installed, so apparently you chose the wrong location then ( and I assume you later used something like boot-repair or manual installation of grub to get the system to boot, but your original choice was not affected by that ). Rather than, or after using one of these steps, you need to run dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc to select the proper installation location to be used on later upgrades.
