| cnd | cjwatson: ping? | 14:50 |
| cjwatson | cnd: hi, please include content with pings to reduce round-trips :) | 15:11 |
| cnd | cjwatson: ok | 15:12 |
| cnd | cjwatson: I posted about this yesterday, but I've got an instance where 10.04 installed, but grub did not get installed with it | 15:12 |
| cnd | I've tried running grub-install, but no luck | 15:12 |
| cnd | do you know what I might be doing wrong? | 15:12 |
| cjwatson | you were using a usb stick, weren't you? | 15:13 |
| cnd | yes | 15:13 |
| cnd | the usb stick enumerated before the HD | 15:13 |
| cjwatson | known bug - you can generally beat it into shape by (a) running grub-install on the correct device from the system you just installed (b) running grub-install on the other device from the other installed OS (so e.g. if you're installing to USB, use a rescue disk to get to the OS on the hard disk and run grub-install to the HD from that as well) | 15:14 |
| cnd | cjwatson: so I've booted into 10.04 on the HD by booting through the usb stick, because the usb stick grub says root (hd1,1), which actually points to my HD on this machine | 15:16 |
| cnd | now that I'm up on my HD, I ran grub-install /dev/sdb | 15:16 |
| cnd | no errors, but the machine still won't boot | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | ignore anything of the form hd1 | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | it shouldn't be relevant and it will only confuse you | 15:17 |
| cjwatson | so exactly which grub are you booting into right now, if you just let the machine try to boot normally? | 15:18 |
| cnd | cjwatson: none, no bootable partition is found | 15:19 |
| cnd | actually, I wonder if I need to twiddle the boot bit in fdisk... | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | is it attempting to boot from the USB stick? | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | oh yes, marjo had that problem | 15:19 |
| cnd | cjwatson: when I plug the USB stick in, I've been manually selecting it to boot | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | the installer normally ensures that there's an active partition on the disk it's going to boot | 15:19 |
| cjwatson | but if it gets the wrong disk, as it's done for you, obviously that doesn't work | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | your BIOS is probably one of those that needs an active (aka bootable) partition | 15:20 |
| cnd | yeah, the bootable bit wasn't set | 15:20 |
| cnd | let me try to reboot | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | it almost certainly doesn't matter which it is - it just needs to have one | 15:20 |
| cnd | cjwatson: ahhh, looks good now :) | 15:21 |
| cnd | thanks! | 15:21 |
| ogra | whoever Jean-Baptiste Lallement is he deserves a gold star for all the grub bug handling | 18:21 |
