Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub-installer
When installing from the 7.04 AMD64 alternative CD, the system is left in an unbootable state if /boot is on a seperate partition from /. This is a common scenario for RAID, LVM, etc. The fix is to boot up in rescue mode, mount /boot, and create a symlink using 'ln -s . boot' in /boot. This is documented on the Wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#head- 44a5805eeda20ec1b6bd6c274cbf3a74230675d1 As you tell the partitioner that /boot is a seperate partition, grub- installer should be able to figure this out and create the symlink as needed. Even if /boot is not on a seperate partition, I can't see anything bad coming from creating the symlink, so it could just be created in all cases.
