Bug Description
Ubuntu 12.04 installer crashes when it gets to the part where it has to install the bootloader(Grub) on HP ProBook 4530s. The same thing happened when Ubuntu 11.10 was just released and after a few weeks the bug got fixed.
Here is a screenshot.

Ok, I wrote a long story and launchpad failed to save it. Long story short, last time I was trying to install on btrfs while the old version of grub(Ubuntu had an old version) in Ubuntu didn't have support for it.
This time, I tried to install grub on /dev/sdb which was the USB Stick. The older installers by default were selecting /dev/sda, the HDD, and I didn't pay attention this time, that's why it failed...
