[Bug 572086] Re: upgrade karmic to lucid, grub was installed on wrong hd

[Mathieu31]

Three years after the original post, using now xubuntu 13.04 Raring and a SATA only computer, I do not experience the issue anymore.
On my previous computer, I had a motherboard PATA interface, with the boot disk, and a PCI to SATA card, with a second disk.
For this computer, sda and sdb tend to exchange their names across reboots. This old computer is now phased out and I cannot provide the requested data. Sorry for that.

Title:
  upgrade karmic to lucid, grub was installed on wrong hd

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  i was running kubuntu 9.10 and windows 7 on different harddrives, the
  bootloader grub was installed on the ubuntu one. so the ubuntu drive
  was set up as first drive to in bootorder, if not windows just startup
  without grub. after upgrade to 10.4 and ubuntu as set as boot drive
  grub did not start, it displayed an error. when i set the windows
  drive to be the first in bootorder i now see the grub menu and
  everything is working, but this not the behaviour i wanted! so why did
  the bootload install on the windows drive without asking me?
