Re: grub-install fails when image is 64 meg and succeeds when image is 256 meg

[Andrew Stuart]

Thank you the guidance. Having looked at the output of fdisk I can see the 
start sector is different for the 64meg version.

So I changed my parted command as follows and it works:

sudo parted -s -a optimal test.img mkpart primary ext2 2048s '100%'


thanks!
