Well, I definitely encounter all symptoms, all error messages presented on these two web site and I could fix my situation with the help given in the first web site followed by this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099
It's only after fixing my mbr with the commands given in the http://pissedoffadmins.com page that the re-installation of grub in chroot was successful As I said in the original bug report, I'm no expert in the area, I never encountered such issue in all my years using/installing ubuntu. I understand the difference, however, the procedure describer, even if not completely related, solved my problem (maybe as side effect) I remain convinced that there is a bug out there. I just don't have the experience to pin-point it, and describe it with the necessary level of information. -- Arnaud On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 8:29 PM, Phillip Susi <ps...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > No, that is completely unrelated.
