I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on the "other" partition on my
hd ( /dev/hda3) and came across a problem no one on the
Ubuntu forums could really resolve.
Grub2 was installed at the same time as Ubuntu, and the whole
installation worked fine..for Ubuntu.
However Grub2 could not boot Debian Squeeze on /dev/hda2.
Update-grub kept putting /dev/sda2 in its grub.cfg and Squeeze
could not boot from that. It also did not use UUIDs for Debian
despite the face that seems to be the default.
Grub2 is installed in the MBR.
The only solution I could find after days was to install Grub2 from
Debian, again in the MBR. Its config boots both fine, using UUIDs.
Is this a Grub bug in Ubuntu, or will Debian eventually start
calling HD partitions by the same syntax?
