[Bug 260001] Re: ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader()

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD).
Please retry your installation with new media and if it still fails I'd
recommend testing your CD drive with other media.  In the event that is
is not in fact an error with your installation media please set the
bug's status back to New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  ubiquity crashed with InstallStepError in configure_bootloader()

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  This is probably a duplicate of closed/dormant bug 71984, but I have
  opened a new one because it occurred on Intrepid alpha 4 and I want to
  be sure you have an up-to-date set of documentation.

  I suspect the crash is caused by my choice of an install that has
  fallen outside the validation box. I was trying to install a
  standalone intrepid system on a new partition of a multiboot machine.
  However, in manual partitioning I did NOT mount the existing grub
  partition as /boot. I guess the install was confused when trying to
  install another grub boot loader. I will retry the installation with
  the existing /boot mounted.
