[Bug 486151] [NEW] grub-pc will not install grub to the mbr of an IDE slave drive

[sojourner]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

The install of the system is normal and no errors are reported but grub2
is not actually installed to the mbr when it is directed to an IDE slave
drive . this has been occuring since grub2 was introduced in karmic and
continues with the lucid daily live cds. the system is installed and can
be chrooted to . When grub-install is run from within the chroot it also
fails to install grub to the mbr of the slave drive . grub2 is installed
correctly when directed to any other drive on the system either ide
master or sata .
