Comment 6 for bug 765270

I guess this should probably be a different bug report, but I'm guessing at least the grub portion is related. I downloaded the nightly yesterday, install went off fine, though when I clicked to reboot the kernel crashed just before actually rebooting. Pressed reset, the computer reboots, and immediatly starts booting into windows 7. Grub didn't even flash on the screen. So I rebooted into the live drive, and chrooted into my install on /dev/sda5, and re-ran grub-install /dev/sda, with the verification step. I then unmounted the chroot, and then rebooted from the live drive, which again the kernel crashed just before reboot. After pressing reset it again booted straight into windows without going through the grub menu.

So to recap, as far as I know I have a working version of ubuntu on /dev/sda5, and that grub-install is convinced that it worked, but that all it is useful for is booting directly into windows. I'm going to conduct one more experiment where I check to make sure that the config for grub actually recognized the 11.04 install, but other then that I can't think of a solution.

The kernel panic before reboot I'm guessing is unrelated but wasn't sure if anyone else had observed that.
