I have installed the patched Grub2 that Colin has in his PPA & done the normal updating that he requested including confirming that it is installed to my first drive. It is the only grub installed on my system, so I feel very certain that I was using it during my timed run last evening. To re-confirm:
d...@linux:~/Desktop$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdc (hd3) /dev/sdd d...@linux:~/Desktop$ grub-install -v grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.97~beta3) Is there anything else you want me to check? Cheers!!!
