In Kubuntu Hardy Heron my IDE drives were identified as Sata drives in Gparted.
So instead of getting Hda, Hdb, Sda and Sdb, I got Sda, Sdb, Sdc and Sdd. The IDE drives were the Sdc and Sdd. As in installed on the first IDE drive, the information passed over to Grub was that I'd installed on drive 3, in Grub's numbering system Hd2. Grub did correctly identify the IDE drives and placed them before the Sata drives,which is normal, so the system tried to boot my first Sata drive and couldn't find the operating system. I dare say , if I'd installed on the first Sata drive the system would have ended up trying to boot the first IDE drive. The chipset controlling both the IDE and Sata drives is Via VT8237S, this chipset worked okay under Gutsy 7.10, but there was a similar problem under 7.04. Any newcomer to Linux with both IDE and Sata drives attached to their Motherboard may come unstuck. -- SATA and IDE drives mixup on install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223334 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
