Bug Description
Installation Failure on HP Envy 17. Full wipe and clean install.
Version:
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin"
Expected To Happen:
Installation would complete successfully.
What Happened Instead:
Installation failed on grub bootloader install. Says that grub cannot install to the specified directory.
After grub installation fails, a popup box appears with various alternative installation locations like /boot/RAID-0-xxxxx
The dropdown box allows you to select an option, but it is impossible to hit OK so you can never get past this step.

Was hoping that someone would have a comment on this by now, or if I created a bad report at least tell me what I did wrong in the reporting process? I am surprised that my report is being ignored.
