Oh and i wanted to provide more information about both installs-> 8.10 doesn't work for installation (no idea why) ... So i used ubuntu 8.04 set up an encrypted lvm. I did the same on debian lenny (rc 1 disk ). Both installations resulted in grub installing to the wrong disk. However, this time both could boot.
I think, if any installer takes a copy of the mbr, saves it. Writes a new mbr and then tests if it works, upon failing restores the old mbr and prompts the user could be a good solution. -- Grub - Error 21 returned https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8978 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
