I think that the information management in this thread is even worse than the user experience caused by the above bug. Although I appreciate the numerous hints to circumvent the problem, but only very little information is provided about the nature and the cause of the bug. Is the problem caused by IDE drives, by large partitions, maybe an IDE boot drive as a slave (in my case). If I knew more, I could vary more parameters instead changing lines in files I do not understand.
I am also reading with mixed feelings Debian bugs watcher's statement, that the problem was fixed. Even if it is, it does not make a difference to me, because Ubuntu 9.10 would work after an install on a clean disk for me. I would have exptected more insight and help from this source. Recently I installed 9.10 on a different system. This particular problem did not occur (small master IDE drive), but DVDs would not play due to an unfixed problem in the video subsystem. Two mainstream problems make me think that I'd better install the LTS version - stale. -- 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
