Bug#487755: #487755 grub2 does not install on boot sector of the current (or a mounted) partition

[Holger Fischer]

Hi,

I tried grub-install "(hd0,6)" or better said  "(hd0,8)" because my hardware changed. It does exactly the same as described above. Isn't it only a mapping internally?

new hardware: asus m3a-h/hdmi (sb700/amd780g) with phenom 9350e
boot partition: sata disk connected with sata - ide adapter as primary master drive
root partition: md0 as raid0 from 8 sandisk ultra iv  with 8 cf-sata adapters (4 connected to  HighPoint Technologies, Inc. RocketRAID 230x 4 Port SATA-II Controller pcie) 

Maybe I said it before: Can't this be a problem of a shared library grub2 uses to write  it's changes (so not a problem of grub2 itself)? - Only an idea.

Best regards
