No, it's definitely a bug (and a regression at that). See these links: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1284914 http://grml.org/grml2usb/#mbr-vs-pbr > For instance, I can put GRUB-0.97 (GRUB Legacy) on > the mbr and then boot GRUB2 (1.97.1) from there by specifying > /boot/grub/core.img as the kernel. Yes. I found that info on the Grub2 wiki and it allowed me to tailor a solution that boots into Ubuntu 9.10. Anyway, after some research it appears that the Grub2 devs are concerned that PBR installs can trash some filesystems, eg: XFS. But they do allow the use of a `--force' override for those that know what they're doing. All I know is that the Ubuntu installer supports the configuration I'm trying to use and it doesn't work. I'll take it up with Grub2 upstream once I've confirmed the problem exists outside Ubuntu.
