As I just reviewed this, I wanted to add, that the line "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: info: »/boot/grub/device.map« kann nicht geöffnet werden." in attachment grub-install.log would be "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: info: »/boot/grub/device.map« cannot be opened" in English. Usually the file really doesn't

Hmm, how odd. I'll see if I can set up a few virtual machines to test this out. In the meantime, could you please add the --debug option to grub-install and post the output? That might speed things up for me. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: grub2

I can reproduce exactly the same behaviour. I installed the bootloader of my choice to MBR and intended to chainload several other OS from that. Two of those OS should be Mint10-64bit (based on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit) and CAELinux (based on Ubuntu 10.04 bit). Installing GRUB2 to their respective part
