Sorry I have to insist based on official Ubuntu documentation. For current grub2 the installation command is:
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX For GRUB 2 version 1.98 and earlier (Maverick Meerkat), the installation command is slightly different. Rather than designating the --boot- directory, the switch is --root-directory. In this case, the location changes to /mnt sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX You can find the document here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing Please see after "Fixing a Broken System". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020045 Title: "grub-install" inserts wrong UUID when 2 disks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1020045/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
