I've encountered the same problem with a similar setup using both
"Ubuntu Live CD 6.5.08" and "Ubuntu Live CD 8.04.1".
planned installation:
WinXP on first IDE, partition 1 (hd0,0)
Ubuntu on second IDE, partition 1 (hd1,0)
/home to be on second IDE, partition 2 (hd1,1)
WinXP already installed, the Ubuntu partition already existed from an
old installation.
Near the end of the installation (not sure if there was an error message,
watched it from a few meters away) the installation stopped and dropped me to
the LiveCD-Interface (I had chosen "Install Ubuntu" upon the boot screen).
On the target partition under /boot there was no subdirectory "grub" and no
initrd.img - Files, the kernel images where there, however (possibly copied
from the LiveCD).
My quick fix (as root):
grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/target /dev/sda
chroot /target
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
update-grub
grub
(within the grub shell:)
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
exit
reboot
I'm not sure whether the last invocation of grub is necessary, or if
grub-install already set that up.
I'd be happy to provide further detail, if necessary.
Cheers,
Tobi-Wan
