This is the error:

Nov 12 19:19:34 ubuntu grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target

Nov 12 19:19:34 ubuntu grub-installer: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. 
This may take a long time.

device.

For some reason it thinks hd0 is not able to install grub.

In partman, you have two drives.

1)

Maybe it is trying to install it on the other drive it found, which could be an 
invalid device. I would try installing it on /dev/hda, which I believe is a 
valid parameter for grub. I looked online and it said that it can either have 
the device location (ex: /dev/hda or /dev/sda), or the grub name (ex: hd0 or 
hd1).

I hope that helps!
