Hi Colin,
i'm happy you take this issue in consideration. Things are going worst on that desktop mixing 2 pata & 1 sata on which quantal i386 ubuntu & quantal i386 Lubuntu are installed, but also 2 Precise with their different grub version.
Anyway now i cant boot at all:
- wonder why grub install is saying that i absolutly need to set the sdc hdd only to boot from the bios, even each hdd have grub installed on their mbr.
- no matter wich hdd i select to boot on, i only get "alloc magic is broken at ..." , so i'v'e used several time an updated boot-repair script to try fixing it, but no luck.
- so i wonder if the vbeinfo filled on the GRUB_GFXMODE are correctly filled (reading the wiki its ok to set more than one value if separated by a comma). I've chrooted to test other values: only 1024x768 but also 1024x768x32 (valide vbeinfo values)
Will post tomorrow the grub.d tarball when i will use a liveusb quantal.
