Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Karmic Koala Alpha3. Installer crashed while installing GRUB. I think it
was looking for other operating systems at the time. Actually, every
installer has done this for a couple of years or more on my system. I
suspect it may be because I have one / partition housed on JFS. Here is
my fdisk -l:

GRUB was in fact succesfully installed (using sda6 as root), but didn't list
sda5 as an operating system option.
I was able to boot and edit brub.cfg by hand to add the sda5 boot option.
