[Bug 1066325] Re: Failing to install boot loader - 12.10 daily build October 12
Have tonight tried with the release version of 12.10 - and the issue is still there. See attached syslog from the latest installation attempt. I had to use my workaround of removing my hard disk while installing 12.10 and subsequently re-attaching the hard disk. As a result I now have 12.10 installed and will be re-configuring applications etc, thus I will not be interested in providing any further logs for this issue (unless it's still around for 13.04). ** Attachment added: syslog https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1066325/+attachment/3404587/+files/syslog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066325 Title: Failing to install boot loader - 12.10 daily build October 12 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1066325/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have set this for now to ubiquity and grub2, but the problem of the missing logs is still there. If you want to help us to investigate further please attach the logs from /var/log/syslog /var/log/partman /var/log/installer of a fresh installation try.(May be you can get them to a flash drive/stick, when the system can not finish the installation with success).

Just reports for Ubuntu12.04, which resides on grub2 1.99.x May be your report is just caused by the KVM environment.

Sorry, but the only reason I mentioned KVM was that I initially tested in KVM with no issues what so ever - and that was what caused me to go ahead with a direct hardware install. The issue above IS a direct hardware install (no KVM)!

12.10 beta 2 fails in the same way as the 12 October daily build of 12.10: The installer attempts to write the boot loader to the wrong device (/dev/sda) and fails; manually changing the selection to /dev/sdb does not produce a bootable system.
