Public bug reported:
I've tried installing Ubuntu on an Asus M51V Laptop, the specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU @ 2.26ghz
4GB Ram
250Gb SATA HDD
When it gets to the "Running 'grub-install/dev/sda'..." part of the
install, it hangs for about 10-15 minutes and then returns an error:
Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda
Executing 'grub-install/dev/sda' failed.
This is a fatal error.
It then gives me 3 options to choose from, either to try install on a
different SDA, continue with installation but will need boot repair or
cancel installation - and no matter which option I select, the installer
crashes.
I have tried to perform a Boot Repair using boot-repair-disk, which said
the restore was successful, it created the following information dumb
at:
paste.ubuntu.com/23377240
If anybody could shed some light it would be very much appreciated! This
is driving me insane...
