You asked if the partition table was changed between 7.04 and 7.10. The answer is yes and no. The sequence of events was as follows.
1. -- 7.04 installed. 2. -- Created "shared" extended partition between "NTFS" and "Ubuntu partitions using "Partition Magic" program to shrink "NTFS" to create room. 3. -- GRUB totally failed to work. 4. -- Modified menu.lst to reflect new partition numbers and reinstalled GRUB from the grub diskette. GRUB now worked. Partition numbers were now: 1-Windows XP, 3-UBUNTU. 5. -- Installed 7,10. 6. -- Windows booted ok but UBUNTU didn't. menu.lst partition numbers were 1-Windows XP, 4-UBUNTU. Install had apparently changed partition numbers. 7. -- Ran GRUB diskette find function. It identified UBUNTU as partition 5. This was the GRUB diskette I created from the 7.04 release! 8. -- Updated menu.lst to show UBUNTU as partition 5. Every thing worked. I did not reinstall GRUB, so the installed GRUB should be the one installed by 7.10, I presume. -- Cannot boot UBUNTU after installing 7.10 gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
