Comment 32 for bug 260001

Joao - this has been my assumption from the outset. I've done several intrepid alpha installs as self-contained systems because it was the only way I could install it. I've tried multi-boot installs on 3 different machines so far and hit the same problem. I think that is why we are the only people suffering - those doing upgrades or clean installs are not seeing this bug.

a2d2 - that is strange, but I admit I've only tried ext3 installs because I don't want reiserfs. I see above that you have a multi-boot system, but I don't understand how switching to a different root filesystem could impact the setup of grub on your existing boot partition, which is presumable ext3.
