Dear all,<br>
<br>
I'm running in a small problem which has been consistent in all
DVD images I've installed since Alpha (I thought I was the
culprit).<br>
<br>
Here is what I do:<br>
1. Download DVD iso image<br>
2. Use livecd-iso-to-disk to copy to USB<br>
3. Boot from USB to install on laptop<br>
4. Select all default option except disk partitioning:<br>
- custom<br>
- I create 3 partitions: / & /home ext4 and swap<br>
5. Install prompts from GRUB install which is /dev/sdb1 (USB) by
default<br>
6. I change it to /dev/sda1 (which is the other options)<br>
7. Validate and complete install "successfully"<br>
<br>
=> Laptop doesn't boot (no error message)<br>
<br>
In fact grub is installed on /dev/sdb1 no matter what I select
apparently and I then go to system restore to install grub on
/dev/sda1<br>
<br>
So is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>

Replying to myself. After reinstalling GRUB using chroot and
grub-install /dev/sda1<br>
<br>
I get an error 15 which is supposed to be a grub-legacy error..
though the HDD is brand new (was just delivered today).<br>
<br>
What could be the problem (forgot what I did last time I faced the
problem).<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
