[Bug 1142043] [NEW] Installl crashes while "Running grub-install dummy"

[LennartP]

Public bug reported:

When trying to install kubuntu 13.04 from daily build dated 2013-03-03,
the installer crashes while "Running grub-install dummy". The installer
exits to a terminal window, and everything freezes. I am installing to
removable media (SDHC-card).

It is not possible to boot from the disk created by the installer.

The same thing happens when installing kubuntu 12.10.

I expected the installer to finish, and create a disk from which it is
possible to boot.

I have attached a tarball of /var/log from the disk created by the
installer.

Is this supposed to work at all?
