[Bug 111731] Re: install to an usb disk does not work

[Phillip Susi]

The problem was that grub was configured to point to the wrong drive.
This is no longer an issue with grub2 because it uses UUIDs to locate
the correct drive.

Title:
  install to an usb disk does not work

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Tried installing Feisty to an USB disk.

  - the disk is offered n partitioning and can be set up for
  installation. However, the installer offers to install grub on (hd0)
  which is the internal drive.

  - the installed grub is configured to load kernel from (hd1,1) but the
  USB disk is (hd0) when booting from it

  - when I boot from the USB disk and try to redetect grub drives the
  disk map is still wrong. It assings (hd0) to the internal drive and
  (hd1) to the USB drive

  - when I edit the disk map and reinstall grub I also have to change
  the root in menu.lst

  After that the install worked except hibernation. Hibernation probably
  turns off USB and I get loads of messages about rejecting IO to a dead
  SCSI device.
