I tried to reproduce this with a current desktop CD image and failed. I created /dev/sda1 (vfat, 2G), /dev/sda2 (ext3, 7G), /dev/sda3 (swap, 1G); rsynced the contents of the CD image to /dev/sda1; rebooted with 'LIVEMEDIA=/dev/sda1 ubiquity/partman-skip-unmount=true'; applied ubiquity r4687 to prevent an unrelated crash; and installed to /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3, telling it to install GRUB to /dev/sda1. The installation completed successfully.
If this is still happening to you on current Natty images, could you please describe how to reproduce it, and attach full logs? Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700910 Title: Unable to install GRUB2 to the same device as contains aufs in natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
