Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
I just installed the latest karmic daily build (as of June 29th) using the alternate installer (text mode), 64 bit
setup:
- one drive 8 GByte (Virtual Box)
- on partition /dev/sda1 filling the whole disk = PV for LVM
- two LVs
+ root for / (ext4)
+ swap
I expected to get Grub2; instead, I got LILO (perhaps, because I choose not to setup a separate boot partition, which is no longer necessary in grub2)
a manual installation of grub2 worked fine:
apt-get install grub2
update-grub2
grub-install /dev/sda
reboot

Sure, we haven't yet updated grub-installer to know that grub2 can handle /boot on LVM.
