The following setup used to work up to 2.12. It failed with 2.14, and I see that it is still broken with 2.16. The setup: Ubuntu linux installed on the disk with grub installed as part of the ubuntu install to handle booting. (Optionally, ie on another machine, I had Windoze XP installed first, then Ubuntu and grub to dual boot into either.
