2008-12-20 Thread Gaetan Nadon
I have attempted to reproduce the problem where Grub cannot be installed on the root filesystem of the new Ubuntu instance. I installed a first instance on a new disk. The installer proceeded with the installation of Grub. This consists of the MBR (first sector on the disk) which invokes the grub f
