Recreated the problem of the sdc appearing on the linux lines in grub.cfg on an
install to a 4G Patriot xmini usb stick.
fstab was OK with the UUID used for /, sdc1 only appearing in a comment.
I did copy the /var/log files off the install media in case they might be of
interest.
Install sequence of events:
Booted the Maverick install media, at the "Try"/"Install" screen, i inserted
the target 4G usb.
I was Not connected to the internet, and did not check off third party sw.
Selected "Specify partitions manually" instead of "use whole disk".
(I had previously taken the new 4G stick, and made one partition, starting at
sector 8192, with h=4 and s/t=16.)
Selected sdc1, then the change button.
use as ext2, format, / selected
Boot loader automatically switched to the 4G stick on sdc from the windows sda
disk.
selected install now
selected continue on the no swap warning
Set time zone to LA
selected USA keyboard
Filled out the name, user, etc, require pw to boot.
When install finished, I switched to a virtual terminal, and tared up the
/var/log files.
unmounted the target. Rebooted to my normal linux environment (on a 4G stick),
and copied off the grub.cfg and fstab from the just created target usb.
This result is the same as the previous install to a 4G PQI usb stick,
which did not boot because of the sdc1 on the linux line.
The bad grub.cfg file with the sdc on the linux lines:
