I can confirm this bug, and I can confirm that Daniel's work around is valid. I'd also like to note that the only part of the /target/etc/mtab that is needed is the line contain the root file system, or the line containing the /boot file system (if applicable).
In my case I was using the 9.10 server install cd on a amd64 virtual kvm instance. This is always reproducible when using expert mode, and install legacy grub, and having 2 partitions (sda1 - swap, sda2 - root). File systems and valid partitioning schemes seem irrelevant, however I can't say I have tested all possible cases. ~Mike -- Karmic: legacy grub-install fails, possibly due to missing /target/etc/mtab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465231 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
