installation failure

[aw]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installing Dual boot (Win MCE, Mythbuntu) on computer with 2 drives. 1st drive has NTFS partition, then 15G root, 4G swap. 2nd drive first partition is JFS and labeled /var (best I could do for media drive with installer), then final partition is FAT32 for sharing. Seemed to get pretty far along without problems. Toward the end I noticed GRUB install, then failure.

1. Mythbuntu 11.04
2. ISO install
3. Expected Dualboot Machine
4. Got an install failure.
