I have noticed this as well. I have several partitions on one large drive. I like to test new Linux versions on a separate 30G partition I have created to be sure that all my software works correctly in the new version. This procedure relies on the new grub version being able to detect the old linux partition. Both 10.10 and 11.10 are on the same drive, but seperate partitions. I also have windows 7 installed on a completely different drive, which is detected correctly. Unfortunately this left me stranded in linux 11.10, and unable to get back to my linux 10.10 OS, and unfortunately linux 11.10 still has several issues that either slow down my work, or make some of my more important apps crash when performing key functions.
I am going to try re-installing 10.10 over top my old 10.10 OS partition, in the hopes that I can get access back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686076 Title: Grub fails to recognise Ubuntu 10.10 on a separate hard disc.
