** Summary changed:
- Grub installs to wrong drive's MBR in default install. No way to change in
standard installer.
+ d-i does not provide a way to select which drive to install grub to
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: grub
-
- Install fails due to the fact that IDE drives are not set in the boot
- order (SATA drive is), but ubuntu installer installs to IDE0,0.
-
- Obviously there are 2 drives, sda, and hda. sda is set to boot from in
- the bios, but in drive order, hda is first so grub chooses it.
-
- Asus motherboards with ability in bios to change drive boot order and
- have both ide, and sata drives are problematic.
-
- I don't know about "expert" mode, but this problem has caused me several
- headaches.
+ These days Ubiquity provides a selection for which drive to install grub
+ to. This is vital for people whose systems do not boot from the first
+ disk that the kernel detects. The same ability needs added to the
+ alternate installer.
** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
