Title:
  install did not work, apparently something about not being able to
  install grub2

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The problem was reported at the end of the install process.  I
  previously tried partitioning with a grubbios (or some name like that)
  partition at the beginning, since the disk drive is a 3TB seagate
  SATA3 7200rpm unit, but that installation would not boot (though it
  appeared to complete the installation process without problems).  Note
  that this was an attempt to perform a complete fresh install of a
  single-boot system on the entire HDD with no other disk drives in the
  system.  This was an attempted install of the 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 DVD
  ISO.
