[Bug 1310950] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Executing grub-install failed and then the installer crashed

[Frank]

Please look at the entire log, I've tried to install GRUB on every
single disk I have, without any luck!

Will try to create the 'bios_grub' partition manually, but would have
expected the installer to do it automatically since I've told it to use
the entire disk.

Even if this works, the installer is still buggy, for example:
1. Direct installation hangs, workaround is to go into the desktop first (test the desktop).
2. Installer crashes if you don't reboot after the install, but choose to rather continue testing Ubuntu.

Overall, not a good experience!
