I have also had this problem. I experimented with installing ubuntu to a flash drive and when I rebooted the flash drive didn't work and neither did my laptop.
The default option was for hd0. At the very least this should be more clear then having to click on some obscure "Advanced" button on the page after selecting the partitions. Also, when you tell ubuntu to manage the partition information for you and use the whole drive it should be smart enough to decide that is the device you want to boot from. This is a great way for people to mess up their grub information. -- grub target boot device selection defaults to (hd0) but doesn't offer it in the dropdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461085 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
