Please run sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, and make sure it is set to
install to the correct drive.

Title:
  Wrong place of grub install (?) after kernel upgrade

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using Qantal, installed on an external HDD.
  After each kernel upgrade, grub is installed to /dev/sda. Or at least I guess it is, because my laptop's internal HDD's grub (which was burg before the upgrade) searches for the external HDD's UUID but never finds it.
  I think it is a _critical_ problem, becuase now I'm here with a laptop and an external HDD, with a sum of 4 OSes installed, and I can't boot neither.

  Why does a simple kernel upgrade mess up not only the HDD the OS is on
  but other drives, too?

  If this bug is not related to grub2, then please find the package is
  related to, because it should not exist.
