[Bug 1169605] Re: Installer crashes when setting up grub

[Phillip Susi]

Now that I look more closely at the logs, this isn't a duplicate.  You
simply seem to have had your usb flash drive come up as sda and tried to
install grub there.  You can work around this by manually choosing to
install grub to the hard drive ( sdb ).


** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1059827
   Non trivial grub2 installs no longer fit in small embed areas

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

** Summary changed:

- Installer crashes when setting up grub
+ Ubiquity installs grub to flash boot drive instead of hd
