Felix, I have the same issue. Using qemu I have installed on my 320GB 2.5 SATA
HDD ubuntu using alternate CD (using automatic partitioning) and it boots and
works fine under qemu.
However, if I put this 320GB HDD in soekris (embedded board) I get the same
grub error "no such partition". It looks like /boot partition gets assigned
sda5 and it is far after LVG partition, but soekris BIOS detects 320GB HDD as
134GB, so it seems that its BIOS fault, what could be workaround? Should I
create partition table manually specifying /boot as first partition on the disk
start? Why ubuntu automatic partition assigns /boot as last partition on the
end of the disk?
Under qemu:
