x64 Lubuntu 16.10 installation of grub2 in PBR fails to work

[Bernd Dreyer]

Hello!

 

OS: Lubuntu 16.10 x64

Installation of Grub2 into the MBR is predetermined by the Lubuntu installer during installation.

However, trying of such an installation results in an error as the Windows 10 bootloader resides in the MBR

PBR installations are also refused by the Lubuntu installer.

Installation proceeds without installing grub.

SuperGrub however, manages to boot Lubuntu.

Installation in the PBR of the Lubuntu partition is only possible by using grub-install with the application of -- force.

But, booting this partition via an EasyBCD configured bootloader in Windows 10 fails and a grub shell is displayed.

In a x86 processor laptop an EasyBCD configured Windows bootloader manages to start such a prepared partition.

 

Kindest Regards
