[Bug 979481] [NEW] Grub will not install, system will not boot

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Initial installation was 10.10 upgraded to 11.10.  Worked well until
upgrade to 3.0.0-14 kernel then would not boot and had to resort to
previous kernels.  This was the case for -15 and -16 kernels.  But when
-17 was installed suddenly the Nvidia drivers wouldn't work and it
became impossible to boot into any previous kernel.

Tried a new side-by-side installation of 11.10 on the machine.  But it
fails to install grub no matter where I tell grub to install to.
