[Clonezilla-live] Grub problem at restoration.

[Giorgos <gio...@gm...>]

Hi! :-)

Some time ago, I made an image for my ubuntu jaunty partition (ext4
formated), with clonezilla live cd.
Recently, after downloading the latest clonezilla version, I restored
the image and after restoring the files, I received this error at grub
restoration phase:

Running: grub-install-no-floppy-root-directory=/tmp/hd_img.QiFQFv /dev/sda

grub-probe: error: Cannot open  '/boot/grub/devise_map'

/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 374: [: =: unary operator expected


Then the restoration just stopped, so after some time I pressed
ctrl-alt-del and I restarted.
My system became non-bootable (since grub was erratic), so I could
only boot windows, booting from floppy (with gag).

The usual way for restoring grub from ubuntu live cd not worked, so I
made a fresh install (that corrected MBR) and I restored my image with
clonezilla (at expert mode) unchecking (deselecting) the "Reinstall
grub" option.

OK! I'm new to Linux, so I need your help! :-)
Everything seems to be OK now, but what went wrong?


Thanks!!! :-)
Giorgos.
