Title:
  installation of bootlader chrashes

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  The installation of ubuntu 9.10 from live CD seems to be ok until the boot loader was installed.
  I tried to use a boot partition.
  If I do not use a boot partition the installation works well. But however I want to hava a boot partition.

  regards joerg
