I don't think you need to start all over again. You can just create the
partition in gparted and retry. The error messages are not friendly
though.
"Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.
This is a fatal error."
This should tell you why it failed, and give the actual error message. I

Another Upvote for a fix PLEASE!!
Just spent two hours getting a system installed only to find that I had

A simple warning during the partitioning stage would be a great help!

Unbelievable that this bug is still present in 11.10.
I had to redo the whole installation because of this, as attempting to go back
to the partitioning step to add the missing partition makes all later steps
fail irrecoverably because of the installer forgetting that partitioning was

The same problem in Ubuntu Server 11.04 !

Actuallly, I'm not sure that this was my problem. It appears that my
problem might be related to my motherboard and it's inability to boot a
disk installed with GPT (may be the 2TB thing, maybe not) (also, event

Still a problem on Natty install CD... and it just hit me. Thank god for
launchpad to show me what I did wrong. I had no idea that with a larger
drive I had to manually add a BIOS whatever partition.

Title:
I managed to fix this with the Ubuntu 10.10 Alternative (noted the same
on Server CD) disk. Creating a 1mb partition at the beginning of both my
2TB drives and setting it to 'reserved bios partition' was what I
needed.
Ubuntu creates this partition for you auto-magically when you use the
guided pa
I managed to get the problem resolved though it was a bit of a pain. Had
to burn a desktop livecd and then apt-get several things (mdadm, gdisk &
friends) into the running system in order to create a
BIOS_Boot_Partition. Fortunately there was some space left over where I
could put this partition.
This problem bit me tonight, trying to install 10.04.1 64bit onto a
RAID0 array of size 3GB.

Title:
>2TB/GPT: Must warn if BIOS boot partition is
Agree with Huuanito comment above.
I expect to be able to install Ubuntu and mirror boot with RAID1 on my
brand new 2TB drives. A few weeks ago I did testing of all the major
linux distributions, the installers failed for a variety of different
reasons.
The only Linux distro I found that include
I apologize, I was mistaken, karmic 64-bit server uses GRUB2 (1.97) by default
as you said.
That GRUB 0.97 found and shown above must be a vestige from my attempts to get
the system to boot from RAID1.
However I would still like for the install software to have some way to boot
from RAID1, a w
That is not my experience, but let's qualify that. Ubuntu grub 0.97 _does_
support GPT with RAID1, except for the boot partition which must, as
stated previously in the workaround, be on a non-RAID partition for the
reasons you stated. Currently as far as I can tell GRUB2 does no better.
I'm al
GRUB1 does not support GPT, but GRUB2 does - Karmic uses GRUB2, it just
needs this BIOS boot partiton (

The problem happens as a result of the drives being GPT which usually means
>=2TB. GRUB cannot yet handle GPT boot.
It is more than a documentation bug, we need GRUB updated to provide a way to
boot off RAID GPT drives as there will be more and more GPT drives as time goes
on. Folks will continu
I think the problem described here only happens for disks larger than
2TB - please create a new report for your problem.

Extra information: My install fails with two hard disks that are just
10Gigs each. Shouldn't this bug be marked as critical, or maybe I am
missing something? Raid seems quite important for server installs imo.

This is happening with lucid 64bit server as well. should I create a new
bug report for this (as lucid is LTS I reckon it is quite important RAID

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: partman-base
(Ubuntu karmic, alternate install CD)
If you manually partition a large disk (2TB or more), a GUID partition table
(GPT) will automatically (and silently) be used.
This means that you *have to* create a BIOS boot partition (
