I installed from a Dapper liveCD a few days ago, and manually created my partitions using the install program's tool. However, when I rebooted, I got an error that is the equivalent of the old "non-system disk or disk error". Basically, none of my partitions were marked with the bootable flag, and therefore didn't boot. This surprised me, since I didn't think grub or lilo gave a damn about that flag. Rebooting with the live CD and marking my root partition as bootable fixed this problem.
Should the install tool not make sure that when all is finished, one of the partitions is marked as bootable, no matter how the partitions were created? That's more or less what this thread is about, right? -- Automatic partitioning reset boot flag in DOS partition table? https://launchpad.net/bugs/14244 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
