Public bug reported: Hello,
I have a system here as follows: /dev/sda1: Primary, NTFS (XP) /dev/sda2: Primary, NTFS (XP) /dev/sda3: Extended /dev/sda5: Logical, NTFS (data) /dev/sda6: Logical, FAT32 (recovery) /dev/sda7: Logical, Ext? /dev/sda8: Logical, Swap The operation systems are booted by the bootmanager of xfdisk (http://www.mecronome.de/xfdisk/index.php), which is a pretty which is pretty easy to configure. I had an Ubuntu system on sda7 for years. Today, I tried to install 9.10 from scratch, installing grub to /dev/sda7 to be able to go on using xfdisk. Unfortunatly, booting Ubuntu was not possible; xfdisk reported a missing OS. Tried the installation several times using different media. It didn't work out. As a last try, I tried to install 9.04 and configured it the same way (grub on /dev/sda7). This installation was working as expected. I am now wondering if the non-working tries with 9.10 come from using grub 2 instead of grub 1. Can anybody confirm or provide a way to install 9.10 in this config? Thanks a lot, Thomas ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Problem booting grub2 from extended partition by third party bottmanager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506828 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
