[Bug 441907] Re: grub2 cannot boot partition on sdb (hd1)

I think I can confirm similar behavior.

I have a 9.10 Beta disk that I have used for a clean install on my
laptop to /dev/sda1 - that went perfectly, booted up the first time with
no issues.

The same disk on my desktop, installed to /dev/sda5, doesn't boot. After
the LiveCD installation, I restart and immediately see a Grub Error 15.
There are no entries in the menu, and I am never given an option to
enter a grub> prompt.

I tried installing directly from the CD (without starting the LiveCD
environment first), and after the installation finished it booted into a
rather screwed up LiveCD environment and complained about the disk being
full. Most icons were missing and after a restart, I saw the same Error
15 from grub.

I just tried the installation again, only instructing the installer to
mount my / and /home partitions (/dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6) and it failed
again.
