I'm not sure if it is exactly the same problem, but from my noob perspective, it looks quite it.
I had a stable and functioning dual-boot of Hardy and XP (with XP installed first) until a few days ago I did a new install of Hardy with the latest Live CD. I used manual partitioning during the Live CD process, and used the same partition as before, only this time I also made a separate partition for /home. The Live CD install proceeds, files are copied, etc., no error messages on the graphic interface, only, at one point the install stops and I am returned to the Live CD desktop. On the partition where Ubuntu is supposedly installed, there are a lot of files, but there is no /boot/grub folder. After restarting, I also got Error 15, in order to have at least one functioning OS I used fixmbr and fixboot from the XP recovery CD, so now at least I can boot into windows, but Ubuntu install happens the same every time. I did not have this problem when I had no separate /home partition, but this could not be the problem, could it? -- grub not configured with live CD install with pre-existing /home partition (Gutsy RC) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152261 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
