Kubuntu installer fails to mark / bootable. System doesn't boot.

[tudor achim]

I installed Kubuntu 6.10 again, and the installer worked perfectly. I partitioned manually, and GRUB said it would be installed on hd0, the correct one. I boot up, and the computer goes straight to Windows. After looking several times, I realized that GRUB hadn't marked the hard disk as bootable through fdisk.

Thanks for your bug report. From your description I gather that you resolved the issue by making the hard disk bootable, is that correct?

[tudor achim (t-achim)]

Yes; I did it with fdisk from within the LiveCD.

Are you able to reproduce this in Ubuntu 8.04?

Thanks!

No, 8.04 worked for me the first time.

In the future you can close the bug report yourself by clicking on the current status, under the Status column, and changing the Status to "Fix Released". Thanks again!
