There is also a very important use case which fails due to this error: having a full disk encryption installation of Windows with truecrypt and then installing full disk encrypted ubuntu. The grub has to be installed on /boot partition as truecrypt installer has to be in MBR as it is not that flexible as grub.
I was able to install grub to the sda3 when manually running grub-setup with --force on alternate CD, but the grub install is broken as the assets are not found and I have to manually type the kernel and initrd options on minimal grub shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584324 Title: grub2 fails when being installed in a partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/584324/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
