I have this identical problem. I'm trying to use BootMagic as a
bootloader on my MBR partition, so I need Grub on the root partition.
I've tried many times, with almost every version of the installer, the
live CD & DVD, and alternates. It always crashes on Grub installation
with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
