The issue appears not to be fully addressed by the committed fix; an Ubuntu install still fails if the boot device is not within the first 7 disks:
# chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy "(hd24)" Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. A strace seems to indicate that the "dump" command fails. Some debugging: grub> dump (hd7)/boot/grub/stage1 /tmp/grubtest dump (hd7)/boot/grub/stage1 /tmp/grubtest Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition grub> dump (hd8)/boot/grub/stage1 /tmp/grubtest dump (hd8)/boot/grub/stage1 /tmp/grubtest Error 12: Invalid device requested -- Machines with > 16 drives not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335174 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
