Hi, I have similar behaviour on an IBM Netfinity server. We have 2 harddisk link on an Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter and 1 IDE drive. We choose to install Ubuntu on the IDE drive and Ubuntu report hard disk schema as this :
SCSI1 : /dev/sda SCSI2 : /dev/sdb IDE1 : /dev/sdc Install works fine when choosing to install grub, no error message is displaying but after reboot, grub failed to launch. Cause is that grub use device.map to know where to install grub and device.map look like this : (hd0) (/dev/sdc) (hd1) (/dev/sda) (hd2) (/dev/sdb) So Ubuntu say to grub to install itself on hd2 disk (as ubuntu know ide drive is on third disk) and fails. After booting in rescue mode i resolve because i know how grub works. -- Installation to second disk confuses drive numbering https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
