2010-02-20 20:57:01 Nick Booker description Binary package hint: ubiquity I specified an alternative device manually (/dev/sda12 which is the root partition I installed Ubuntu to) for the GRUB boot loader in the Advanced dialogue, however the installer installed GRUB to /dev/sda. This may be related in some way to #525029 I reported earlier, but isn't exactly the same problem. Booting into the newly-installed Lucid and manually installing with grub-install worked, however I need to use the --force option. I've attached a transcript of my shell session for doing that.
