There is one thing I'm not sure about; when looking at the partition table, what makes me wonder is that partition 0 starts at cylinder 0 while other machines in my collection have it start at cylinder 1. Apart from that, it is tagged as 'unassigned' and not root:
Current partition table (original): Total disk cylinders available: 60795 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 unassigned wm 0 - 60793 931.41GB (60794/0/0) 1953311220 1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 backup wu 0 - 60794 931.43GB (60795/0/0) 1953343350 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 8 boot wu 0 - 0 15.69MB (1/0/0) 32130 9 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 Could that be a problem? Again: it works once after installgrub and then hangs on GRUB for any subsequent try.
