[Bug 621537] Re: install.sh crash @ 96% [installing boot loader]

[Brian Murray]

Unfortunately there is very little information about what grub-installer
was doing:

Aug 21 02:11:45 bt grub-installer: info: architecture: i386/generic
Aug 21 02:11:45 bt python: log-output -t ubiquity umount /target/cdrom
Aug 21 02:11:46 bt finish-install: Disabling CD in sources.list

** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => grub-installer (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low
