[Bug 1397698] Re: The installer could not install the boot loader

[Phillip Susi]

You tried to install grub to /dev/sdb2, and this is not possible.  It
needs to be installed to /dev/sda ( or /dev/sdb if that is the drive
your bios boots from ).


** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
