Bug Description
During install of Isadora (LXDE 32 bit download .iso image) it asks you if it should create a boot loader on /dev/sda
I said NO. I have a boot loader there already, and also a dual boot setup that I would have a hard time recreating.
Isadora then creates a /boot/grub/grub.cfg file on /dev/sdb1 that refers to /dev/sda1 and also has UUID's in the menu entry
that do not exist on my machine.
When I reboot into Ubuntu and run sudo update-grub, the new grub.cfg on /dev/sda1 picks up the linux Mint 9 entries, but it copies the info from the file that Isadora made, and hence the menus are wrong.
When I try to boot isadora, it exits to busybox saying it cannot find the disk with the UUID isadora has created.
I have to manually edit the grub.cfg file to fill in the correct UUID's.

PS, I was installing Mint 9 Isadora to /dev/sdb1. /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 already had Win XP and Ubuntu Lucid on them.
