New Kernel- new grub?

[Jonker]

Hi there,
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a ext. HD. It works fine. Then I update yesterday to the Kernel 2.6.35.28. I had configured the Grub that it is on the ext. HD. But after updating, the Grub bootloader was on the MBR on the internal HD? Could this have been caused by the new kernel?

is the question so difficult that nobody knows the answer, or is it so stupid that you don't want to give an answer?

If you don't want the external HDD install to treat itself as the second drive of your PC, you have to do this on the external HDD (It is the same thing I do for Ubuntu-On-A-Stick! USB installs):

On the external HDD:

sudo rm /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober

This will make the next command you run from the external HDD booted OS:


sudo update-grub only look for OS's on the external HDD drive.

so it had something to do with the new kernel?
