I disconnected the 2.5-in drive that was in sda and did reinstall as "OEM" settings and it succedded somehow (syslog attached, but note that sda now refers to the ssdcard).
I'm going to try some more to reproduce the original error. These last few sucessful installs have been booting the kubunt iso in EFI mode...I can't remember if the first time when it failed if was because I was booting the dvd in legacy mode. I'm going to try legacy mode boot now and install to the ssd to see if that causes the error (and now I'm wondering in that case that the error is not with grub2 itself but with settings passed to grub2 or with the computer's boot-mode...although in the past when I had sucessful arch and a few other sucessful installs, I'm almost certain it was in legacy mode). ** Attachment added: "succesful_install_to_ssd_card_syslog.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1414124/+attachment/4304599/+files/succesful_install_to_ssd_card_syslog.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414124 Title: install reports unable to install grub to /dev/sdb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1414124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
