I just got a larger hard drive for my laptop. After installing it, I ran my Ubuntu 9.10 install disc and installed with no problems. After removing the CD and rebooting, I get the error message "No such device" referring to the hard drive. I replaced the CD and started the LiveCD. The hard disk mounts fine and contains all the filesystem from the fresh install. I searched the forums a bit and found the "boot info script" and ran it. Here are the results:
