i installed hardy heron 8.04 desktop x86 edition from the live cd on a reiserfs partition. and used the advanced button at the last stage of installer to install grub on the / partition instead of the MBR. and grub-install failed with the error described above.
i had to kill the installer because it stalled there doing nothing. so i got not log of the installer. i had to create a /boot/grub/menu.lst with update-grub and install manually grub in the partition with grub-install. what a pity ! the bug is one year old. if i could do it by hand from a chroot to ubuntu partition, it's not a grub-install bug, is it ? is this bug a duplicate for #185878 ? -- Installation of GRUB on a reiserfs partition always fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123102 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
