Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
The Desktop CD installation had been working fine on my machine past
couple of years. But from 11.04, it fails to install Grub2 successfully.
When it tries to mount a FreeBSD partition, it fails (of course it can't
mount a FreeBSD partition) and quits installation without finishing the
installation, leaving the PC unbootable.
If I inspect the root partition of the failed installation, /boot
directory has not an initrd image nor grub subdirectory nor grub.cfg.
I solved this problem by downloading the altenative CD, and it installs
11.04 without any problem. When it can't mount a FreeBSD partition, it
just ignores it and proceeds to finish the installation.
I do not know what has been changed in the 11.04 Desktop CD from 10.10
or previous releases, but please fix this regression bug.
Thanks.
