Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub-installer

I've downloaded today the daily ubuntu netbook-remix for my aspire one.
I've put the image to usb stick and make it bootable.
I've been able to boot on it and begin the install process.
It failed everytime at 94% with the message: 'grub-install /dev/mmcblk0 failed'

I don't know how to correct this.
