Public bug reported:
After reinstall of hardy with an alternate install DVD, which could boot and
chainload windows XP, I noticed that this time the nomenclature for my drives
was reversed. The first install, my first drive as in bios an ubuntu
partitionnner was sda, my second sdb and my 3rd sdc and my /boot partition is
situated on the first drive which is actually an IDE. I had succesfully
installed grub on sda1 (my first drive) with the ability to boot into hardy
.
For my re-install of hardy, the partitionner reversed the order calling my
first drive sdc, my second drive sda and my third sdb. So when I was asked
where to install grub, I opted for sdc1 since my first drive was now named as
such and it installed. But when I try to boot into any entry now, I get error
15, file not found or no such partition exists (for my gutsy install). In
gparted, all my installations and data partitions seem to be there but I can't
access any of them now! (My new suse that I installed just before ubuntu, my
windows and my gutsy which I had lost the boot path or files). I suppose that
my boot partition to install grub on is really on sda1 then, thus ignoring the
sdc designation by the partitionner... Also my Ide is called a SCSI1 (0,0,0)
and my second drive SCSI3 (0,0,0) and my third SCSI3 (0,1,0) . I hope that
these are the right designations for the installer.
I should add that it is an alternate install DVD of Ubuntu Studio.
