grub install on a partition does not work if GRUB was already on MBR (Gutsy Tribe-3)

[pitwalker]

first: sorry for my bad english

I use i386 version
I have one hard disk: /dev/sda
I have 9 partitons
I have 3 primary, others are logical
I install Gutsy to /dev/sda2 successfully (this have BOOT FLAG, I install grub into /dev/sda2!!!)
The menu contains only one UBUNTU (6 kernel) BUT those are 6.06 LTS on /dev/sda3

In other hands the problem maybe caused by pevious Linux on /dev/sda2, and it's previous grub
settings. This was Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop DEMO. (Yes, I delete it.)

when I read menu.lst I surprised!
I see:
...
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.22-8-generic
root (hd0,1)
...
but this is not shown on grub menu!
When grub installed previously into MBR
a new GRUB install into a PARTITION BOOT RECORD is not runnable. :(

The solve is
-RANISH->install default IPL
-DOS->FDISK /MBR
or
-install GAG to MBR :)

I like more Ubuntu when this problem is solved with INSTALLER,
not only 3rd party tools.

PS:
I want more choice in grub install, NOT OLNY in alternate CD.
I prefer GAG, I never install GRUB to MBR (when I have the choice).
I dont like in UBUNTU: grub reinstall is too complicated,
Every SUSE version have a menupoint to restore linux boot! (This is very useful and friendly feature)

I feel I SHOULD have a question to ask, but since I don't find one, I'll confirm the bug and let other ask info. :-)

I found this same problem in Tribe 5 LiveCD. I tried to install in a partition with grub in mbr and the installer didn't install grub,

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
