Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
Imaging disks via dd is a common, simple task that worked until recent ubuntu releases that find filesystems by UUID. That has advantages, but gets in the way of disk imaging. The bug is that it's painful to make grub work in the old, disk-imaging friendly way, and using common search terms to find the information online does not readily uncover the solution. I've written up the solution here as a workaround: http://credentiality2.blogspot.com/2010/04/ubuntu-karmic-grub-error-no- such-device.html This bug is related to #499483, but that bug wandered off into some debate we don't care about.
