Hello John, I created a startup disk of ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso and
another of ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso. They booted properly, installed
properly and afterwards, both the system and key were still bootable
independently without the need to rebuild the MBR.
I believe that since you are trying to install Ubuntu onto an HP cciss
RAID array, the issue may be caused by debian-installer. Are you not
able to tell debian installer to install to /dev/cciss/c0d0, or is it
that the installer incorrectly assumes which disk should contain the MBR
without giving the user the option to specify the drive to be used for
the MBR. Could you also test if this issue is reproducible when no
/dev/sd? devices are present (installing from the CD directly).
As this is not the standard use case for usb startup disks, developers
of d-i should respond to this bug stating if supporting installation
onto cciss via usb startup disk is a use case they would like to
support.
** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
** Summary changed:
- installer installs grub into wrong mbr (usb device sda)
+ debian-installer (booted from usb) installs MBR to usb device instead of
cciss device
