Bug Description
Am using BootitNG for multi booting systems. Have successfully installed Ubuntu 10.10 . Now want to install Ubuntu 11.10 but when installation reaches the stage of executing Grub-install to dev/sdd8 it fails & a fatal error occurs.
I twice downloaded the installation "iso" and created installation disks - but they all fail at the grub-install stage.
However I was able to install Ubuntu Studio 11.10 altenate without any difficulties.
