Given the grub version, it's your Wheezy install that's controlling boot. Why did you run "grub-install"? Since you chose not to install a bootloader, all you needed to do was run "update-grub" in Wheezy. Did you just run "grub-install"? Or "grub-install /dev/sda"? (I wouldn't have thought that "grub-install" would work. Do grub-probe --target=fs_uuid --device /dev/sda7 and blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sda7 return the same value and does it correspond to the UUID in the "search" and "linux" lines of the Ubuntu entry in grub.cfg? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
