I had the exact same error while installing Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit. After finding this thread I looked in /var/log/syslog for details, and noticed that "apt-get install grub" failed near the end of the install. I rebooted into the live CD, configured my networking properly and attempted the install again. It worked perfectly this time. Perhaps the installation media either needs grub2 to be added, or maybe the user needs to be given an opportunity to configure the network settings prior to installation? At any rate, I hope this helps!
