Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub

Release: Ubuntu server 8.10
Package: Installer - possibly grub (0.97-29ubuntu45) inside the installer
Hardware: Lenovo RD120 with ServeRaid 8k controller and Sata drives

Desription: Installation finishes with no indication of problems, but on re-boot the machine does not find grub stage 2 and hangs.

Current workaround: Bring the machine up using the desktop LiveCD and set up grub manually through the terminal command line (chroot /media/disk; grub; find /boot/grub/stage1; root (hd0,0); setup (hd0);). Upon reboot, the machine comes up.
