[14:50] <cnd> cjwatson: ping?
[15:11] <cjwatson> cnd: hi, please include content with pings to reduce round-trips :)
[15:12] <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?
[15:13] <cjwatson> you were using a usb stick, weren't you?
[15:13] <cnd> yes
[15:13] <cnd> the usb stick enumerated before the HD
[15:14] <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)
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <cjwatson> so exactly which grub are you booting into right now, if you just let the machine try to boot normally?
[15:19] <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
[15:20] <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
[15:21] <cnd> cjwatson: ahhh, looks good now :)
[15:21] <cnd> thanks!
[18:21] <ogra> whoever Jean-Baptiste Lallement is he deserves a gold star for all the grub bug handling
