hello
whenever i run
root:/# grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sda
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub.
No path or device is specified.
Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information.
Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed.
Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly.
Are you replacing the boot-loader that came with Ubuntu with a specific reason? Why not let that boot-loader do all the work (a suggestion I also made in the other thread).
Note that Ubuntu keeps the "fixed" stuff in /etc/grub.d/, and you need to run grub-mkconfig to create the grub.cfg file. Failure to do this will cause you to lose your LFS settings every time Ubuntu updates its configuration files. (Note that the mkconfig script searches all drives for valid boot images, so your LFS installation might be automatically in the cgf file.)
Oh, the mkconfig output defaults to stdout, and needs to be redirected to /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
