Do you have more then one disk in your PC? If blocklists have to be used (i.e. grub-install --force) then you must install GRUB to the disk where your /boot/grub is on. And then you need to check in your BIOS that it boots from that one. I recently experienced this problem myself and we really should abort with an error in grub-setup/grub-install if blocklists get used and you install to a different disk then /boot/grub is on. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- grub-pc can not install on old drives, use grub instead https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491740 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 -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
