A workaround for this bug: 1. Start up a shell on tty2 or tty3
2. "cp /etc/mtab /target/etc/" 3. Edit the newly-created /target/etc/mtab file: Delete all lines except the one specifying the device for /target (note: *not* the "tmpfs /target/dev" line), and then change "/target" to "/". 4. At the fatal-error dialog, select <Go Back>, return to the "Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" item in the main menu, and go through the install process again. It should work this time. (This appears to confirm that an absent /target/etc/mtab file is the problem.) -- Karmic: legacy grub-install fails, possibly due to missing /target/etc/mtab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465231 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
