Bug Description
Installed today's Beta candidate went O.K. as far as I could see.
Restart according to the install screen, got:
initramfs
Some message about not being able to get C/H/?? values.
How do I write a launchpad bug from initramfs??
It's a dual hard drive system. Booted onto the first hard drive with Lucid LTS, then ran update-grub and grub-install. Lucid Grub works fine. Then booted precise pangolin Beta candidate O.K. from the Lucid Grub2 entry.
One hard drive is IDE, the other a SATA. Lucid Lynx, Meerkat, previous ubuntu's back to whenever assign the boot hard drive as /dev/sda. Works perfectly. Pangolin decides the boot hard drive is /dev/sdb and then gets confused.
From some past bug experience with Narwhal, Pangolin Grub is looking for some UUID on the wrong hard drive. Never ever occurs to Pangolin Grub to look on the other hard drive for that UUID.
Anything I can try to get some useful info?
