Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub-installer
When installing the latest Ubuntu Server into a KVM machine the install locks up at the point it tries to install the grub bootloader. Further investigation shows it fails after installing stage_1_5. It will hag after that point although Ctrl-C will bring it out of that.
KVM Setup: Running on Ubuntu 8.04
/usr/bin/
Ubuntu ISO:
vnms@vnms1:~/kvm$ ls -l ubuntu-
-rw-r--r-- 1 vnms vnms 583249920 2008-07-01 05:38 ubuntu-
vnms@vnms1:~/kvm$ md5sum ubuntu-

Changed in grub-installer: | |
milestone: | ubuntu-8.04.2 → ubuntu-8.04.3 |
My current work-around was to build an image with ubuntu- kvm-image- builder, boot it with the server CDROM (for some reason despite having a working GRUB it failed to install a kernel image), install the image and the reboot.
