Bug Description
Grub2 (grub-pc) fails when installing on a KVM virtual machine running virtio disks.
The disk appears as /dev/vda and it seems the installer tries against /dev/sda and /dev/hda, fails to find the disk, and proposes to continue without a bootloader.
Step to reproduce:
- set up Ubuntu virtualization on a 64 bit KVM able machine (Karmic: apt-get install qemu-kvm virt-manager)
- download Lucid Alpha 2 srv 64 bit iso from http://
- install Lucid alpha 2 server in KVM and watch it fail over grub install
I have tried grub2, legacy grub and lilo and all failed. I could not complete Lucid Alpha 2 server 64 bit install
How reproducible:
Always, as long as VirtIO the disk interface on the guest (disk is presented as /dev/vda)

Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Can you please provide us with the options you ran kvm with?
I am also resetting Status to Incomplete -- simply changing Status to Confirmed without explanation is not enough evidence.
