You're right, its 8.04. As every distribution uses it's own tags for kernels, is quite difficult to get conflicts with kernel/initrd, and with grub the last one prevails.
If the erasing is intentional, I think it should not delete lost+found, and it should be warned somewhere. Not only you will loose any chance to boot other distros, but in my case I did lose some data, as I use the boot partition to share home directory of the user I want to share among distros. I'm quite sure that I did install previous ubuntu versions on systems with other linux distributions installed, and it didn't erase anything, and made a very good job detecting them and even adding them to grub menu. -- installer clean existing /boot partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
