There's no indication in any of the messages that the bug is fixed. And I can't see that any of them address my own comments in #9.
As #8 points out there are two issues - (1) the warning itself, which doesn't contain (or point to) a clear explanation of the issue, and (2) the fact that GRUB2 seems to expect to be the only OS present (or that all other OSes present provide boot code within their own partitions). As it is I use Grub Legacy (having worked out the errors in its documentation) and the IT support folk here (ANU) seem to do the same on the machine they have just installed for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445416 Title: grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR.
