I had the same problem. I installed the 10.10 minimal installer to a USB device for an Asus 1005HA netbook. The partitioner installed the root partition to the internal HDD (/dev/sdb) and left the USB device (/dev/sda) alone. However, it installed GRUB onto the USB device, rendering the installer useless.
To fix it, I had to boot to the USB device, which then booted Ubuntu. I was then able to install grub to the HDD, which Ubuntu now recognized as /dev/sda. -- debian-installer (booted from usb) installs MBR to usb device instead of cciss device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589483 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
