OK, I'm sure I'm the last person in the world that anyone wants to hear from but here I am :^)
I was wrong about the drive being the only commonality, the other was the file system: la...@lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted /dev/sda print Model: ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-0 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 500GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 21.5GB 21.5GB primary ext3 boot 2 21.5GB 42.9GB 21.5GB primary ext3 3 42.9GB 96.2GB 53.3GB primary ext3 4 236GB 500GB 264GB extended 13 236GB 258GB 22.0GB logical ext4 12 258GB 280GB 21.6GB logical ext3 11 280GB 301GB 21.7GB logical ext3 10 301GB 323GB 21.8GB logical ext3 5 323GB 378GB 55.1GB logical ext3 6 378GB 432GB 53.6GB logical ext3 7 432GB 487GB 54.9GB logical ext3 8 487GB 498GB 10.7GB logical ext3 9 498GB 500GB 2517MB logical linux-swap(v1) la...@lance-desktop:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 19.4GB 19.4GB primary ext2 3 19.4GB 38.8GB 19.4GB primary ext4 2 38.8GB 80.0GB 41.2GB extended 6 38.8GB 76.7GB 37.9GB logical ext4 5 76.7GB 80.0GB 3305MB logical linux-swap(v1) As you can see I'm still using ext3 with all of my "stable" OS's, but I'd used ext4 with all of my test installs on /dev/sdb. The proposed "grub" upgrades resulted in bug #529338 only on the OS's that used ext3. I tried a test install of Lucid on /dev/sda13 w/ext4 and can NOT duplicate that behavior, does that make sense? As a developer can you somewhat easily contact everyone that's encountered bug #529338 about the file system used? My time is limited right now but I do plan on repeating some of these tests to verify what exactly is going wrong. I think next I'll try an ext3 Lucid install on sdb1 (which is vacant) and see what happens. Then maybe another ............. arrgh, just not sure. I would not be so aggressive about this if I didn't feel it were necessary to move this great update from "proposed" to "stable" ASAP.
