This is still broken for me in Trusty 14.04.5 Interestingly it only appears broken on servers with a storage controller AND disks on the motherboard scsi host (sata or sas). That may or may not be pertinent/related, but I've so far been unable to get it to break in the same way on hosts with a bunch of disks only on the on-board controller.
hbogert's fix (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub- installer/+bug/1012629/comments/33) has worked when introduced in our disk recipe script. Something is still broken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012629 Title: grub-installer ignores "bootdev" setting in preseed file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1012629/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
