That sounds JUST like my problem.
Started in Feisty, GRUB would want to install on the wrong drive, and when I tried to set it to the drive that was was the start drive in the GRUB Drive Map, I'd get an endless Looping of the word "GRUB" all over my screen when I boot up. Here's how GRUB maps my drive since Feisty. hd0: hdg hd1: sda hd2: sdb In other distros, and Edgy downward, it read like this: hd0: hda hd1: hdb hd2: hdg Whereas "hda" translates to "sda", "hdb" translates to "sdb" and "hdg" translates to "hdg". The drive I boot up with in Windows, and I had to use Grub4DOS to boot up Feisty, sda. The device that GRUB wanted to install in a Fresh Feisty+ install is, hdg. -- Grub installs to wrong drive's MBR in default install. No way to change in standard installer. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
