Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I've installed ubuntu on a system with two hard disk present. An old but huge IDE - disk and a fast sata2 disk. The IDE disk is mapped to sda and the sata2 disk is mapped to sdb.

Expectably i installed my OS to the sdb(sata2) drive. I setup two partitions (ext3 and swapped) with no specialities. All grub2 files are installed correctly to {/dev/sdb1}/boot but the Boot-loader is written to sda. There is a drop-down-box at the and of the installer but there is only sda a chooseable target.

So after the installation you have to reboot from the install cd, start the live-system and setup grub2 manually via grub-install /dev/sdb.

After the reboot the bootloader works correctly

 This sounds like bug 539204. Can you confirm that you were using a CD dated earlier than March 20th? The CD date will be in /cdrom/.disk/info

Thanks!

The cd is datet to March 18th.

Sounds pretty much the same, instead that i was unable to select everything or give a keyboard command. That could depend on the update i done before installing. *Using the update button on the first page(

I've retested it today with the kubuntu beta2 (cd date 2010 04 06) an the error is still present.

Only sda is chooseable and no keyboard-input is posible
