Public bug reported: Error occurs using Hardy alpha 4 (hardy-alternate-i386.iso), and yes the cd md5sums match and CD was tested for defects.
Near the end of the text-mode install, during the step 'Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk', the installation halts with an error: GRUB installation failed The 'grub' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot. Leaving me with two options: Go Back, or Continue. Going back takes me to the 'Ubuntu installer main menu' where I can then choose 'Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk' to try again. It fails a second time. Selecting continue moves foward without the boot loader. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- GRUB won't install in text mode in hardy alpha 4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
