Looking at the wires inside the box didn't help. I had to change the order in the bios. Seems like the bios and the grub or maybe grub and the kernel don't agree.
OK, this is my first time using an iPad, and, well, Let's just say that I prefer a real keypad.
Automatic stuff that can render a system unbootable is uncool.
I'm not sure what the best solution is

but have Antony's(Saline) grub doctor on the ISO so after installing run grub doctor.

But nonautomaitc stuff when a user has no idea and just clicks a button may as well be automatic as it will be screwed either way.

Out of curiosity and laziness, I ask, How do you chain load from syslinux?
menu label load grub4dos
kernel /syslinux/grub.exe

I'm normally installing into sdc? so I put the grub in sdc but then boot into sda and update-grub, so I don't need to install grub just run grub doctor from the live dvd.If you have multiple installations, and you want to update-grub from a live boot, you have to do it in chroot, and you have to pick the right partition to chroot. I would prefer to boot into that main installation first,
