I have some useful info to contribute I think. I just got myself a 340Gb IDE drive. The bios claims it is only on a 139Gb drive but the Karmic installer recognized the full drive and the installer seemed to work fine. However when trying to boot into my freshly installed sytem I got the error described above.
Reinstalling with a small root partition of 30Gb and allocating the rest of the drive as a /home partition solved the problem. -- Grub 2 problem, error: no such device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403408 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
