[Bug 985971] Re: Ubiquity failed to install grub in precise 20120419.1

[Colin Watson]

I notice that GRUB was installed to /dev/sdb; I expect that that is
probably not the disk that your BIOS is actually booting from.  Did you
select this manually, or was it automatically selected for you?  Also,
could you tell me about the disk layout in this machine?  I'd like to
know how you were booting the installer (CD/DVD, USB, something else),
and which of the disks sda, sdb, and sdc are removable.

Title:
  Ubiquity failed to install grub in precise 20120419.1

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This happened during an install alongside an existing one. On
  rebooting after the installation, the previous test install booted
  instead of this one. Running "update-grub" from that install allowed
  me to reboot into the fresh installation.

  I got suspicious when running apt-get update as part of the testing
  routine produced a complete reload of the package lists from the
  repos, and looked further. But someone who was installing alongside
  Windows for the first time might well be thinking that nothing had
  happened at all.

  Apart from that, it seems to be running correctly.
