Bug Description
When installing Ubunto (Ubuntu 11.04 - GNOME/Unity) It fails to install the boot-loader grub. I get a window with 3 choices :either choose another partition, continue without grub, or cancel installation. But whatever I choose, the OK-button remains greyed out, so I can't click it, so it stuck at that point, only a hard reboot helps. I tried to install it on a HP proliant ML-350 server, with a raid controller Adaptec SCSI 39160.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug report has not been filed about a specific package rather just about Ubuntu in general. Examining the contents of this report it seems that this bug is probably about ubiquity. If this seems correct to you (you can get the package description by using the command 'apt-cache show ubiquity') please change the affected package to that one by clicking the expander next to Ubuntu and filing in the Package text box. Additionally, if there are no log files included in this report it'd be helpful if you were to gather them using the command 'apport-collect 872036' in a terminal after you've assigned the bug to a package.
For future reference there are bug reporting tools built in to Ubuntu that can be accessed by going to Help -> Report a Problem in the application's menu or by using the command 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package with which you are having a problem.
