Hey guys...
I've been trying to install various builds of Kubuntu 9.04 and I keep running into the same issue....
I'm installing onto a partition on SDB and I am getting through the whole installer just fine(I'm not new to linux by the way, I'm just not an expert)... until I get to the end where you can click "Advanced" and choose the location to install Grub to....
When I click advanced, the only choice for installing grub is to SDB... There is nothing else in the combo box and it wont let me type in my own choice. If I leave it set to SDB, grub will fail to install at the end and I will be left with no way to boot linux.
When installing 8.10 or earlier, when I click Advanced it will let me type in my own choice for the grub install, and since I'm installing linux onto SDB, I would type (hd1) and grub would install just fine...
Why can't I choose something other than SDB when I'm installing 9.04??? How can I get around this issue? To be frank I have looked at guides for installing grub manually before and it's way over my head.
Thanks!!!
