Bug Description
When installing Ubuntu desktop 8.10 alpha3 (gnome) on my computer, I had chosen to install grub on a particular partition (sda10).
I did not noticed any particular issues during the install process.
Then I modified my personal grub partition (on sda12) to chainload with the new grub expected to be installed on sda10.
When rebooting to boot onto my new intrepid ibex distribution, I could not boot on sda10.
Then, I checked the sda10 partition :
I have a /boot folder, but there is no /boot/grub in there.
the hard disk is a sata2 disk, and it is the first time I noticed that kind of issue when installing a linux distribution (stable or not).
update :
this "bug" has been reproducted on the same machine twice :
once using the exact same process
once using (hd0,9) instead of /dev/sda10 to indicate the expected grub location (step 7/7 / menu advanced)
in both cases, no /boot/grub folder is created, so I cannot boot on my installed ibex.
