[Bug 1241867] Re: installing with LVM over old install with LVM results in unable to install bootloader

2014-12-08 Thread Matt Hanyok
Hi Phillip, Mea Culpa. I was testing an mSATA drive in a system with a faulty mSATA slot - hence the error messages in the log. I've since put it back in a system with a good mSATA slot (I only have one drive to test with, so it bounces around a lot) and re-run the installer and was unable to

And, lastly, got this message after one of the errors from the installer, for some reason it couldn't submit a report on ubiquity? I will be attempting to run the installer again from another system, where I won't have the same hardware issue as shown in the second syslog I posted, and see if I

You tried to install grub to a logical volume. You can't do that. You need to install grub to the drive ( /dev/sda ) instead. ** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed
