I had an Ubuntu system on sda7 for years. Today, I tried to install 9.10 from scratch, installing grub to /dev/sda7 to be able to go on using xfdisk. Unfortunatly, booting Ubuntu was not possible; xfdisk reported a missing OS. Tried the installation several times using different media. It didn't work out. As a last try, I tried to install 9.04 and configured it the same way (grub on /dev/sda7). This installation was working as expected. I am now wondering if the non-working tries with 9.10 come from using grub 2 instead of grub 1. Can anybody confirm or provide a way to install 9.10 in this config?
