The GRUB device which gets used during boot is only searched with UUID if you don't install to the disk which contains your /boot/grub. Else the partition number gets hardcoded and drive number is read from BIOS. The script grub-install supports actually both, a GRUB device and an OS one, i.e. /dev/XXX But it's not recommended to use a GRUB device because that totally depends on /boot/grub/device.map and that could be completely wrong. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- update to grub-pc writes MBR without checks, prompt or backup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495423 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
