I know that it's not good practice to post emotionally loaded responses. So I will refrain from doing that. BUT, in 14 years of using linux .... I have never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever found an application that sucks so much as grub2!! Why? I'll tell you. Thank you.
1) System has three harddrives. One is IDE, the other two are SATA. There is an IDE cdrom drive, too. 2) I unplug the cd rom drive. No biggie right? 3) GRUB 2 gives me an "error disk not found" error and drops me to some stupid grub rescue console that has NO commands what-so-ever!!! I needed that cdrom slot for another harddrive. So what do I do? Unplug the IDE harddrive? Nope, Linux's on that. Unplug the cdrom? Then how do I boot a rescue image? I almost felt like Daffy Duck going crazy, bouncing on his head shouting "cuckoo! cuckoo!" I installed ubuntu because I didn't want any more of the "omg you must configure everything yourself" kind of bullsh**, that's too damn 90s. I already have too much server management on my hands to be bothered with a simple workstation. This has FAIL written all over it, so yeah, I was way better off using archlinux. More hassle, but seriously less flaws. -- 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
