 |
|
Hello,
i have a problem when I install grub in my boot partition. I tried it now several times and searched online for solutions but none of those worked, so I hope I could get some help from here.
My problem is that every time I tried to install grub in my boot partition I get this output:
| Code: | (chroot) livecd /# grub-install /dev/sdb2 /boot
i386-pc will be installed for your architecture.
grub-install: warn: ext2 does not support embedding.
grub-install: warn: Embedding is not possible. Grub can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists. |
I have tried this guide and this but none of them worked:

You should use /dev/sdb as target, not /dev/sdb2
| Code: |
grub-install /dev/sdb
|
if that complains about something, show the output and also parted -l |
