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

[Christopher Peplin]

I was able to repair the fresh installation by reinstalling grub2 and
manually updating it.

>From a LiveCD where the new Karmic install is at /dev/sda5:

sudo mkdir /mnt/karmic
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/karmic
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/karmic/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/karmic/proc
sudo chroot /mnt/karmic
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
sudo update-grub2

Restart and it should work.

I don't know if the grub installation is running into an error during
the clean installation. Is there any way to view the output in the
regular desktop CD install? I could try the alternative CD, but I'm
rather unexcited about installing again after finally fixing this.
