[Bug 799227] [NEW] unable to install boot loader

[taylorkh]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

PC is a Dell XPS4600 Pentium 4 with a Seagate 160 GB SATA drive.
Installation is from 11.04 32 bit live CD.
Installation fails when configuring boot loader. Message "cannot install boot loader to /dev/sda" and asks me to select another location. I tried other partitions on drive and received same message.  As requested I am attaching syslog and partman files.

I installed 10.04 successfully then tried 11.04 again. Same error.
