But of course none worked for me :-D.
So I decided to post a solution that worked ;-).
- Boot with any live CD (I've done it with Knoppix 3.x and Ubuntu)
- Prepare directory for mounting:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu - Mount the root (/) partition of ubuntu e.g.:
$ sudo mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/ubuntu - Mount proc and dev filesystems on mounted partition:
$ mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev
$ mount -o bind /proc /mnt/ubuntu/proc - If /boot is on seperate partition mount it:
$ sudo mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/ubuntu/boot - Chroot the mounted partition:
$ chroot /mnt/ubuntu - Populate /etc/mtab:
$ sudo cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab - $ sudo grub-install /dev/hda
- Exit the shell
- Reboot
