*** Bug 504875 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can any of these be closed? This isn't really a bug. The actual text reads: "Type /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda to reinstall the GRUB boot loader, where /dev/hda is the boot partition." So, where /dev/hda is *not* the boot partition, you should change this to whatever is appropriate for your particular system. Having said that, /dev/hda is an unusual example now, and I'll change this for version 11.1 of the guide in the next few weeks. It's not good to give the boot partition argument a name that just happens to coincide with a particular common value of it, since people will take it to mean that the boot partition is, in fact, always /dev/hda. Instead, it should say something like "Type /sbin/grub-install bootpart to reinstall the GRUB boot loader, where bootpart is the boot partition (usually /dev/sda)." Updated along the lines you suggest. This will appear in the next release of the guide. Thanks! |
