InstallStepError: GrubInstaller failed with code 1
I'm confirming this bug as I've reproduced it three times on the one machine.
I have both an ATA (with win 2000) and an S-ATA HDD (all the rest). Three times now I've tried to install GRUB to the same partition as the rest of the install (I want to use GAG as boot manager). This problem is of course totally blocking me from installing Ubuntu (6.10) without overwriting the MBA which Windows 2000 has written.
I am aware of the many workarounds - but this is the configuration I think is best, if I can get Ubiquity/ GRUB to follow my instructions.
A quick search shows that grub _can_ install to S-ATA, so what's going on here?
