Comment 2 for bug 1607687

I never imagined that it could be this.

On both Installs I used a custom setup in which I had my system directly on disk in a PV which means I had to manually install Grub using a patched Grub. I believe the installer does not allow to not install Grub, so I direct it at /dev/sda (for instance) and it will fail using the regular grub, of course.

I mean that the regular grub will fail. Then I install grub manually.

So yes, you are right on the money here. I have no installer log anymore (?). But I think it should be clear enough already :).

Well, perhaps not. But. Oh wait, it's on another /var.... Not there either. I will have to redo the install some time to find out. Other system.... Also nothing, I assume it gets wiped? Maybe it never gets created.

The regular Grub will produce this error message on my system:

/usr/sbin/grub-install: error: disk `lvmid/bn8p8J-Wr6M-Qzel-E0t8-8yOV-PbQN-TgKc6P/3Xl0mm-8loM-TcZ2-7pki-oF2S-MSEt-oBcPGT' not found.

Which is a bit weird, I thought it would bug out on /dev/sda. But anyway, regular patched grub will say:

Installation finished. No error reported.

That's currently a git version (from Savannah) but the same for the Supplied Ubuntu version. Anyway, that's irrelevant.

I indeed have a failing grub at install ;-). Regards.
