Public bug reported:
I tried to Install 12.04 next to a Win7.
partitions are :
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 63 498014 248976 6 FAT16
/dev/sda2 * 499712 2035711 768000 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 2035712 245216159 121590224 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 245217278 488396799 121589761 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 245217280 486443007 120612864 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 486445056 488396799 975872 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda5 : btrfs -> /
/dev/sda6 : swap
Everything goes right during installation except the final step when I
get the message that GRUB could not be installed on disk /dev/sda.
