When I installed Ubuntu, I chose /dev/sda7 to install the bootloader, when I try to chainload it from my grub, it doesn't work (grub1 says "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format" and grub2 says "Invalid signature), I updated openSUSE grub to include Ubuntu (not chainloading), and now using Ubuntu I can't do "grub-install /dev/sda".
