Karmic is no longer supported, and I'm not aware of this bug affecting
newer releases.
Felipe, I would suggest asking for help at ubuntuforums.org; this bug
report isn't the right place.

Sorry guys but I'm a beginner. I was trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
(from pendrive bootable files) and when the process was ending it gives
me this warning about the "grub-installer". Can you tell me step by step
what to do do to solve it?

I believe that I'm running into this bug attempting install Ubuntu

I can confirm this bug, and I can confirm that Daniel's work around is
valid. I'd also like to note that the only part of the /target/etc/mtab
that is needed is the line contain the root file system, or the line
containing the /boot file system (if applicable).
In my case I was using the 9.10 serv

A note for those needing a workaround: Both mine and Jim's make some
assumptions about how the disk has been partitioned. I assume that /boot
is *not* on its own partition, and Jim assumes that it is (and that it
is formatted as ext2, on /dev/sda5---adjust accordingly).

Encountered the same problem using expert mode install with 9.10 Server
Edition (ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso).
The following workaround, immediately prior to running the GRUB install
step, solved the problem.
- open shell
- mkdir /boot
- mount -t ext2 /dev/sda5 /boot
- cp /etc/mtab /targ
A workaround for this bug:
1. Start up a shell on tty2 or tty3
2. "cp /etc/mtab /target/etc/"
3. Edit the newly-created /target/etc/mtab file: Delete all lines except
the one specifying the device for /target (note: *not* the "tmpfs
/target/dev" line), and then change "/target" to "/".
