I managed to get this problem by creating a little partition - sda2 in
the list below - trying to make use of that 'unused' space. This worked
well enough when grub was on a regular partition, but it does not work
when setting up /boot and grub on a LVM. The fix was to delete the
partition with f
Escalation won't particularly help as this is just plain difficult to
fix: there's no single cause for the code growing beyond the relevant
size, but rather gradual accretion of bug-fixes has meant the code is
now just slightly larger than will fit. I don't regard LVM or RAID as
exotic, and in tha

BTRFS installs, ZFS installs... Everything that is a bit more complex
than ext3/4 on plain good ol'e DOS disk partitions...

Stating that either LVM or RAID are "exotic" is simply bullshit.

Such a setup wouldn't be hit by this problem; it is only exotic setups
that require things like raid or lvm that won't fit in 62 sectors.

This bug is especially bad for people installing ubuntu as a secondary os on a
windows system. Some factory windows installs do not leave space at the
beginning of the hdd beyond the 62 sectors.
I hope this observation might get this bug escalated.

Bug #1066324 is a duplicate of this one. At the bottom of that bug it
says to comment under this one. I have that same issue but also using
12.04.

That is incorrect Swami. The bios_grub partition is required when using
GPT, and 1MB is quite sufficient either for it, or for the embed area
before the first partition on an MBR partitioned disk.

BTRFS support takes a larger disk space, so you either must leave a
couple (say 4) MB of free space between the start of he disk and first
partition, or create a small "BIOS GRUB" partition there (that you don't
mount or otherwise use, grub will take care of it).

So not sure what has changed in Grub2 between Lucid and Quantal but its
strange that it will boot F13 just fine but not a current Ubuntu version
on BTRFS.

I tried installing both 12.04 and 12.10 using BTRFS for both / and /home
and Grub failed to install with each of them. Tried on both my Netbook
as well as my test rig(P4). When I dig a little deeper, it seems Grub
complains about core.img being "unusually large".

When you say partitioning disk with modern tools... ok, let's said we
have modern tools on 12.04.1 boot CD (that is not really the case since
LVM and RAID are only on alternate CD... why ? is libre-office more
relevant than a complete installing system ?)
