Public bug reported:
On my MacBook which now has a hybrid GPT/MBR partition table, installing
Ubuntu 7.04 (choosing i386 edition even though the processor does have
64-bit capabilities) from the CD, generated an incorrect /etc/fstab
file. The partition named "EFI system partition" (without the quotes,
and this name already existed on my disk) was inserted in the fstab with
the spaces replaced with tabs, the field separator in the fstab. They
should not be replaced. Also I had earlier made a fat16 partition
myself that I put grub2 on, and (in parted) changed the name to "GRUB2
bootloaders" (again, without the quotes) and that line in the installed
Feisty's fstab also had the same problem. (Not that I want those
entries in my fstab, unless they have noauto, which they don't!)
P.S. I didn't want it to install GRUB Legacy, so I customized it to get
an error in the install (I changed (hd0) to (hd5,8) which doesn't
exist). Why is it a _fatal_ error when grub-install fails (and is there
anything important in the installation process that comes after that?)
