I can confirm that this bug still exists in Intrepid. I just did an install of Intrepid on a spare partition, and had the same thing happen, EXCEPT that the Intrepid entries were immune from a casual user's standpoint, as the UUID even for specifying root seems to have taken care of the issue. I found this out by taking a look at my Intrepid menu.lst, where the other operating system entries still have the same issue I have seen since (I think) Edgy, the first version I tried.
I have one SATA drive and two IDE drives. In BIOS/grub the SATA drive comes first with the IDE disks following. In the OS and installer, the IDE drives are sda and sdb, with the SATA drive sdc. Because of this, the installer sets all my boot entries to hd2, instead of hd0 where they belong. I was thinking that the entries were simply reversed, but now I am no longer sure. If it would be helpful, I will take a look at boot grub and OS and check the order of the IDE disks. Tor -- Grub installs to wrong drive's MBR in default install. No way to change in standard installer. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
