Binary package hint: ubiquity
I tried installing 7.10 beta on the unused second partition of the only ATA hard drive but did not want grub on the MBR, so I replaced (hd0) with (hd0,1) in the graphical installer's advanced options. The installer said grub failed, but nothing about why or how to make it work. |

Edit: I just now took the plunge and tried it on (hd0), and it failed with the same message. |

Thanks for your quick reply. Triaged to Confirmed. One work around is to create a GRUB boot floppy. Instead of using the MBR to load the 1st Stage, it uses the floppy. The menu.lst file is stored on the Linux partition and boots normally. I'm not aware of a way to boot GRUB without an MBR change (which could affect Vista) but you can boot off of a USB stick, floppy or CD ROM that provides the 1st stage of GRUB to give the the selection menu.
