Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub
I'm doing QA testing on hardy images as of today, testing various images on kvm. For the Ubuntu desktop amd64 cd, and Kubuntu amd64 DVD installation both fail at grub installation, saying ""Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed. This is a fatal error.". This seems to be completely repeatable. Steps to repeate:
* qemu-img create -f qcow2 foo.qemu 100G
* kvm -m 1024 -hda foo.qemu -cdrom /path/to/the.iso -boot d
* install as normally
Henrik Omma tells me on IRC that he has just managed to complete an installation with Ubuntu amd64 server in KVM, so it is probably not a KVM problem.
The md5sums of the images:
84bcc78154076ca
20f60ad776224ac
I'll be happy to provide any logs you may require, or the entire (failed) qemu image, which is around 524 megabytes (lzma compressed).
This seems possibly related to #218112, but since that seems to have been fixed, this might be a new problem.

The actual error here is not shown in the debug file, but I expect it would be in /var/log/syslog.
