If I don't misunderstand, then according to the installation instructions for dual-boot at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation #Dual-Boot:%20Mac%20OSX%20and%20Ubuntu it would not be installed to the Ubuntu root partition (which would be /dev/sda4 in this case) but into the BIOS Boot Partition, /dev/sda3 (with the bios_grub flag). Like also described in Colin's link from above, http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition
As to the size of sda1 (grub's BIOS Boot Partition), this was created with that size by ubiquity during installation. Before installation I removed all partitions and recreated the partition table with gparted (as in the single-boot install instructions linked above, which according to parted may have failed to actually convert the disk). If sda1 is now too small, this is the installer's doing. -- [Lucid] Upgrade of grub-pc: "Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515724 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
