I've helped look into this for the OP. It seems the part that is failing is:
# /usr/sbin/grub-install --force "(hd0)" /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: disk `hd0' not found. Which I thought was odd, so I created a device.map file: # echo "(hd0) /dev/sda" > /boot/grub/device.map # /usr/sbin/grub-install --force "(hd0)" Installation finished. No error reported. At the end of the grub-bios-setup help page it says: DEVICE must be an OS device (e.g. /dev/sda). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292628 Title: 'grub-install --force "(hd0)"' fails on trusty during installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1292628/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
