Bug Description
Two internal SATA disks ("sda", "sdb"), one external USB disk ("sdc").
Installed / on to second partition of "sdc". Told the installer to install GRUB onto "/dev/sdc" (rather than "(hd0)")
Attempting to boot from external disk throws a GRUB error 17.
Booting a working GRUB and attempting to list the partitions on the disk show the "(hd2,1)" partition as having "unknown" filesystem. Partition type is, correctly, 0x83, and the other partition on the disk shows up correctly as having an Ext3 FS.
The filesystem is perfectly intact, and I can mount it from a working system just fine.
The disk is 500GB, and the / partition is about 490GB in.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
