I do have two hard drives, with crunchbang going on the second one - sdb7 I believe. 
I only formatted the partition, not delete/recreate.
I got this link that seems to be about my issue. I'll try it out and see what happens.

Will it boot with the USB connected? Maybe some part of grub was installed to the USB, so you only need to fix that...
I'm afraid it won't boot with or without the USB connected.

Yes it works beautifully as a live-cd (or rather USB 
) I checked the install-stick before installing and the test came up clean.
I'm not really sure what's definition of a compleately "clean" partition. I'm installing it over my old ubuntu partition, but both that one and the swap-partition have been formatted first naturally.
It's strange that I get the same result on the ubuntu CLI installation.... Mayby it has something to do with 9.04? I'll try installing the Statler version and see what happens.

Update:
I got the same result again after doing the CLI-install, though with a different code (5bacd07e-95...)
What's up with grub? Why won't it play nice? Is there officially no way for me to get crunchbang on my desktop? 
Maybe I should run the cruncbang-script from a full install and se what happens

Are you trying to install the new Crunchabang Statler-10 ?
If you are ... the new Crunchbang is not based on Ubuntu anymore, but rather on Debian.
The Debian installer is totally different than what Ubuntu uses.
This could be, at least, part of the problem for you.
Statler would be the development release right? I'm trying to install the 9.04 ubuntu based standard crunchbang
On a sidenote, crunchbang based on Debian excites me ^^

So I decided to give crunchbang a go after falling for the simplisity ^^, though when trying to boot I get this slapped in my face:
error: no such device: 5bacd07e-9544-4099-bd83-9c14e067f1a4.
grub rescue>
I'm at a loss at what to do. I tried reinstalling, then downloading a new crunchbang.iso file and redid the installation - same result. I used the ubuntu startup-disk-creator just as I usually do when installing ubuntu.
I don't get any problems with grub when installing ubuntu, but apparently #!.
I'm right now in the process of making the installation through the "minimal install" script, which I hope will do the trick. But I'd really like to know what's up with the standard install
Thoughts?
