I can't be sure on it, but I've done at least one similar installation later and did not encounter that particular error. However, I can't be sure of the configuration of the disks being the same in the two cases. The older machine has actually died since then, so I can't even look at it now.
I have encountered a couple of GRUB-related problems that make me wish GRUB included a sanity check, however. This most often involves problems with the swap partitions, so I guess that's outside of GRUB's scope of concern, but farther down in the boot process. I don't think GRUB looks at fstab at all? -- Menu.lst has a one-off error for an older root on a reinstall https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66343 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
