I tried to perform an install of Karmic Alpha 2 with the desktop i386 CD
and suffered from this bug, and using the boot-time option "grub-
installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy=false" listed in the release
notes did not work, unfortunately. I have a dual-boot configuration with
Windows 7 RC on my Inspiron 510m laptop.

If any users are reading this a) who cannot install via the instructions
listed in the Alpha 2 release notes, and b) do not wish to wait until
alpha 3, there is a way to get it working:

When you login to the live environment, open a terminal and perform the 
following steps:
$ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity ubiquity-frontend-gtk 
ubiquity-ubuntu-artwork

This will upgrade the ubiquity installer to the fixed version within
your live environment. You can now run the installer and it should
hopefully complete GRUB2 installation for dual-boot systems
successfully.
