Bug Description
After installation groot is set to (2,2) which leads to an "Error 22: No such
partition" error. The only way to boot into the newly installed system is to
edit the grub boot list entry and set groot to (0,2).
I'm fairly sure the IDE drives are confusing grub/the installer because I've
installed Ubuntu on this machine when those drives weren't installed in the
system and didn't have this problem.
My hard drive setup looks like this:
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

I just flashed my BIOS (nothing to do with this problem) and now groot(2,2)
actually works (obviously 0,0 doesn't). Does that mean it was a bug in the BIOS
or is it still possibly a problem with grub?
