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

[Phillip Susi]

There is a bug in the installer where only the first attempt to install
grub can succeed, so if it does not, and you try a different drive, it
will always fail.  The workaround for this is to be sure to specify the
correct drive the first time.
