Sorry. Looks like we're getting off track. When I did this kind of thing in the past, the problem was that copying the O/S partition didn't get the MBR set up and didn't take care of configuring grub either. With help from this list, I was able to get a grub-based system working, but now we're talking about an "improved" grub2 system. I also suspect there's something going on with different tools reporting different file systems for the same partition. ATM, I only have a MythBuntu 10.04 live/install CD (or a fedora 11 install CD) to work with.</p>

That is correct - when you copy a partition, unless you are doing a full dd, the boot sectors don't get set up. Easily fixed - just get into a working system, and you install grub on the disk you need a boot loader to point at the correct disk (usually the same one, but not always!) and off you go. </div>
